Euphoria In Congress : Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Takes Oath As Lok Sabha MP After Her Resounding Win In Wayanad By-poll
The 52-year-old, who joins her mother Sonia and brother Rahul as an MP in what is a rare instance of three members of a family together in Parliament
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took oath as a Lok Sabha MP following her thumping victory from Kerala’s Wayanad in a bypoll. It marks the beginning of her political journey.
The 52-year-old, who joins her mother Sonia and brother Rahul as an MP in what is a rare instance of three members of a family together in Parliament, took affirmation in Hindi while holding a copy of the Constitution soon after the House met.
On her way to the oath taking ceremony as reported by PTI, her brother and leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi took pictures on the stairs .
With a winning margin of more than 4.1 lakh votes, she surpassed the tally of her brother Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad in Kerala.
Priyanka Gandhi’s entry into Parliament comes at a difficult time for the party, which has been jolted by electoral defeats in Haryana and Maharashtra. It would be interesting to see if she is able to give a much-needed fillip to the grand old party and help put it back on the electoral track.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge tweeted on X and was seen blessing her in the pictures shared
मुझे पूरा विश्वास है कि श्रीमती @priyankagandhi संसद में देश के लोगों की, ख़ासकर महिलाओं की सशक्त आवाज बनेंगी।
उनका कुशल नेतृत्व, करुणा, साहस, शालीनता और दृढ़ संकल्प तथा संविधान के सिद्धांतों के प्रति उनकी दृढ़ प्रतिबद्धता देश की जनता को लाभ पहुँचाएगा। pic.twitter.com/digB19eRgj
