This is the first time that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi exercised their franchise in a constituency with no Congress candidate—the New Delhi constituency. Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), part of the opposition bloc I.N.D.I.A, have fielded AAP's Somnath Bharti from the seat.
After casting his vote, Rahul Gandhi took to social media platform X and shared a photo with Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi showing inked fingers. "Countrymen! In the first five phases of voting, you have rejected lies, hatred and propaganda and given priority to the ground level issues related to your lives," the Wayanad MP wrote on X.
"Mother and I contributed to this great festival of democracy by casting our votes. All of you also come out of your homes in large numbers and vote for your rights and the future of your family," he further stated.
देशवासियों!
