Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday formally informed the Lok Sabha Speaker's office about retaining the Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat and vacating the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat. According to sources, the Congress leader submitted a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker for this today.
Earlier on Monday, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge announced Priyanka Gandhi's candidature from Wayanad in a press conference. After a high-level meeting of the party, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge announced that Rahul will contest the Rae Bareli seat while Priyanka Gandhi will contest the by-election on the Wayanad seat. Kharge said, "Rahul Gandhi has been elected from two (Lok Sabha) seats. As per the rules, he has to leave one seat and continue on one seat.
'We will both be present in Rae Bareli and Wayanad'
Priyanka Gandhi on Monday said she will contest the bypoll from Wayanad but her decades-old association with Amethi and Rae Bareli will continue. "I am very happy to be able to represent Wayanad and I will not let them feel his (Rahul Gandhi's) absence. I will work hard and try my best to make everyone happy and be a good representative. I have a very old relationship with Rae Bareli and Amethi and it cannot be broken. I will also help my brother in Rae Bareli," Priyanka Gandhi said at the press conference. We will be present in both Rae Bareli and Wayanad."
Congress leaders justified Rahul Gandhi's decision
Several Congress leaders praised the decision of the two on the two key seats of the party. Pramod Tiwari praised Rahul Gandhi's decision to retain the Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh and called it a "right political decision". Meanwhile, Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Monday congratulated party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for contesting from Wayanad in Kerala and said that the people of the constituency will bless her and make her their voice.
Let us tell you that if Priyanka Gandhi wins from Wayanad, then three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family will be in Parliament - Sonia Gandhi in Rajya Sabha and Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in Lok Sabha.
