Hope people of Wayanad give me chance to represent them: Priyanka Gandhi
Deccan ChronicleWayanad: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi, the UDF candidate in the Wayanad Lok Sabha by-poll, on Wednesday expressed hope that the people of the hill constituency will give her an opportunity to represent them and repay the love they have shown her. In response to reporters' queries regarding the Waqf law issue, which has created a political storm in Kerala, and the lack of central assistance to landslide-affected people of Wayanad, Priyanka said, "I do not think today is the day to speak about these controversies." On being asked whether she will surpass the victory margin of her brother, Rahul Gandhi when he won from Wayanad in the general elections earlier this year, the Congress general secretary said "That is yet to be seen". Rahul had won the hill constituency in the 2024 general elections with a victory margin of over 3.5 lakh votes and in 2019 he had achieved a margin of over 4.3 lakh votes.
