Priyanka Gandhi launches campaign
News Mania Desk / Piyal Chatterjee / 23rd October 2024
Following her brother Rahul Gandhi’s decision to resign from the Lok Sabha seat, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched her campaign for the next by-election on Wednesday by making a sincere plea to the people of Wayanad. Speaking at a rally that was attended by Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Sonia Gandhi, among other party officials, Priyanka highlighted the strong connection that her family has with the people of Wayanad.
“These values (truth and non-violence) moved my brother to walk 8000 km across India for love and unity. He could not have done that without your support. You stood with my brother when the whole world was turning its back against him. You gave him your strength and courage to keep fighting,” she said.
“My whole family will always remain indebted and grateful to you. I know he had to leave you and I promise that I will only strengthen the bond between you and him,” Priyanka Gandhi added.
Priyanka, who is making her electoral debut in the upcoming Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll, promised to strengthen the bond between the people of Wayanad and her brother.
Rahul Gandhi vacated the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat, leading to the bypoll. Priyanka assured the people that she would work to understand their struggles and issues, saying, “My brother has explained to me the large issues you are facing… I want to come to your house and understand straight from you what your issues are and how we can tackle them.”
