From ‘Caretaker’ To Full-Time Neta: What Does Priyanka Vadra’s Wayanad Debut Mean For Congress, Gandhis?

Priyanka Vadra, known for her role as a caretaker for the Gandhi family, is now stepping into the spotlight as a full-fledged politician by filing her nomination for the Wayanad bypoll. Despite facing pressure in the past to take charge due to the Congress and Rahul Gandhi’s poor performances, she has always prioritized her family responsibilities. However, she has now emerged as a strong campaigner and trouble-shooter within the party. With her electoral debut, the Gandhis now have representation in both the North and South regions, but the potential for another Gandhi-centric power center in the Congress raises questions about internal dynamics.
