Rahul's reply on whether Priyanka would be better Wayanad MP
What's the story
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has posted a candid video in which he is seen discussing with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra about the latter's nomination for the Wayanad by-poll. In the clip, Rahul is asked if he thinks Priyanka would make a better Member of Parliament (MP) for Wayanad than him. To this, he responds, "It's a tough question," before quickly adding light-heartely, "I don't think so." The video was posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.
Sibling support
Rahul expresses fondness for Wayanad, praises Priyanka's dedication
The video captures a light-hearted moment between the Gandhi siblings and other Congress members. When asked who he would choose as Wayanad's MP besides himself, Rahul chose Priyanka. He justified his choice by stating, "Not because I like her or I am very fond of her and love her very much. But she will actually do a good job." He further praised her attention to detail and dedication toward work.
