‘Will strengthen the relationship between Rahul and Wayanad’
Recently, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had written a letter to the people of Wayanad. In this she had said that I will strengthen the relationship between Rahul and Wayanad. This will be my first visit as a public representative, but it will not be my first visit as a fighter. Before her nomination, Priyanka had said that when she was 17, she had first campaigned for her father Rajiv Gandhi in 1989. After this she asked for votes for her mother Sonia and brother Rahul. This time she seeks support for herself.
