Priyanka Gandhi's potential entry into active politics is once again a hot topic. As rumors swirl about Rahul Gandhi vacating his Wayanad seat, speculation is rife that Priyanka might step in. This development has sparked interest, especially considering Rahul’s recent comments about her political capabilities.
Rahul Gandhi's landslide victories in Rae Bareli and Wayanad are well-known. Recently, he mentioned that had Priyanka contested from Varanasi, PM Modi would have lost by a significant margin. This has fueled the buzz around Priyanka’s possible candidacy.
Speculation about Priyanka's political debut began during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, where there were rumors of her contesting from Varanasi, which she denied. She also hinted at contesting as the CM candidate in the 2022 UP elections but later clarified that it was a slip of the tongue.
With Sonia Gandhi stepping down from Rae Bareli and moving to the Rajya Sabha, there were expectations that Priyanka might contest from Rae Bareli. Similarly, it was speculated that Rahul might face Smriti Irani in Amethi. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge reportedly urged the Gandhis to run from their strongholds to avoid sending the wrong message.
However, Priyanka has once again clarified that she will not contest, to avoid further criticism of dynastic politics. Her entry would make three family members in Parliament, which she believes would be used by BJP as a political weapon. karan hinted that Rahul might leave Wayanad.
