Wayanad, Sep 19
Wayanad turned into a hub of political activity on Friday as senior Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi arrived on a private visit, joining Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who has been in her Lok Sabha constituency since last week.
Priyanka, the newly-elected Wayanad MP, has been extensively touring the constituency since her victory in the November 2024 bye-election, which she won with a massive majority.
She had contested the seat after her brother and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, who represented Wayanad in 2019 and 2024, chose to retain the Raebareli constituency and resigned from Wayanad.
The visit of the Gandhi family has a personal dimension as well.
