Robert Vadra, Priyanka Gandhi’s husband, has expressed that Priyanka should be given a ticket for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. It remains unclear if she herself is keen on contesting. Speculation arises about her potential constituency: she might contest from Raebareli in Uttar Pradesh if Sonia Gandhi opts for retirement from active politics before the elections. Yet, many senior Congress leaders believe that Sonia Gandhi still wields considerable influence over various opposition parties. They wish for her to continue as the Parliamentary Chairman of the party. Counterarguments suggest that one can be the party’s Parliamentary Chairman without being an elected MP.
