Priyanka Gandhi Breaks Rahul’s Record With Maiden Win In Wayanad: 'Look Forward To Be Your Voice In Parliament'

In an emotional statement, Priyanka Gandhi who is currently leading by a margin of 4.1 lakh votes expressed her gratitude to the people of Wayanad.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra achieved a landslide margin in the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypolls on Saturday with a record lead of over 4.1 lakh votes. This margin surpasses the 3.64 lakh vote lead achieved by her brother, Rahul Gandhi, during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections earlier this year.

In an emotional statement, Priyanka expressed her gratitude to the people of Wayanad. "My dearest sisters and brothers of Wayanad, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the trust you have placed in me. I will make sure that over time, you truly feel this victory has been your victory and the person you chose to represent you understands your hopes and dreams and fights for you as one of your own. I look forward to being your voice in Parliament!" she said.

Priyanka Gandhi said: "My colleagues in the UDF, leaders from across Kerala, workers, volunteers and my office colleagues who worked incredibly hard in this campaign, thank you for your support, for tolerating my 12 hour a day (no food, no rest) car journeys, and for fighting like true soldiers for the ideals we all believe in." 

Acknowledging the support of her family, Priyanka added, “To my mother, Robert and my two jewels- Raihan and Miraya, no gratitude is ever enough for the love and courage you give me. And to my brother, Rahul, you are the bravest of them all… thank you for showing me the way and having my back, always!”

 

Reacting to the historic lead, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy predicted Priyanka’s win would go down as a record margin. Congress leaders celebrated her success as a promising sign for the party’s resurgence in South India.
