New Delhi: Robert Vadra, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi\u2019s son-in-law, reacted to the party\u2019s move to field his wife Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from Wayanad on Tuesday, saying he will follow her in the Parliament \u201cwhenever it is the right time\u201d.<\/p>\n
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra\u2019s brother Rahul Gandhi had won the Lok Sabha elections from Rae Bareli and Wayanad earlier this month. On Monday, he announced his decision to relinquish the Kerala seat, paving the way for his sister\u2019s foray into electoral politics.<\/p>\n
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had been campaigning for the Congress party in Amethi and Rae Bareli for decades, but she officially entered active politics before the 2019 general elections. Unlike her brother and mother, she has never contested an election.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, I would like to thank the people of India for teaching a lesson to the BJP. They played religion-based politics. I am happy that Priyanka Gandhi is going to fight from Wayanad. She should be in Parliament, not because she has been campaigning but I want her to be in the Parliament,\u201d Robert Vadra told PTI.<\/p>\n
He, however, appeared to signal that he wants to be a member of the Parliament.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe should be in the Parliament before me. I can follow whenever is the right time. I am happy, and I hope people will give her a good mandate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, Robert Vadra had claimed there were demands from many parts of the country for him to contest the polls from Amethi, the Gandhi family\u2019s stronghold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
