The atypical fellowship of Gandhi siblings

New Indian Express  

All reports emanating from the Wayanad parliamentary bypoll campaign suggest Priyanka Vadra Gandhi will win the seat vacated by her brother, Rahul Gandhi, hands down. The question being framed in public chatter is as follows: will Priyanka cross her brother’s May 2024 figure of nearly 60 percent of the votes polled, or will she touch the high of his 2019 figure, an astonishing 65 percent? Anyway, the Wayanad seat and the victory most likely to come look like a gift of the brother to his younger sister, who comes across as his emotional anchor. In the bus video, the brother offers a rationale as to why his sister, more than anybody else, is suited to represent Wayanad in parliament.
