Leaders Express Happiness On Priyanka’s Oath Taking
Speaking to ANI, Congress MP K Suresh expressed his happiness on Priyanka’s oath taking. He said, “The opposition is very happy today because Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi is taking oath as a Member of Parliament from the Wayanad constituency. We will have a detailed discussion with Priyanka Gandhi about the Wayanad landslide incident. So far the Government of India has not sanctioned the amount for compensation and rehabilitation. The state government has also submitted a detailed proposal on it.”
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had secured the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat with a margin of 4,10,931 votes, defeating Sathyan Mokeri of the Communist Party of India (CPI). Wayanad, a Congress stronghold, witnessed a triangular contest between Priyanka Gandhi, BJP’s Navya Haridas, and CPI’s Sathyan Mokeri.
The Wayanad seat was vacated by Rahul Gandhi, who previously represented Wayanad but shifted to Raebareli in Uttar Pradesh after being elected to the Lok Sabha from there during 2024 general elections.
