Regretting his remark on Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, former MP and BJP's Delhi assembly election candidate from Kalkaji constituency Ramesh Bidhuri, on Sunday, withdrew his words.
With her taking oath as an MP, all three prominent Gandhis -- Priyanka, Rahul Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi -- are now members of Parliament, a first in Indian political history.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who made her poll debut from Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, was leading in the early trends on Saturday.
In the upcoming bypoll in Wayanad, Kerala, a familiar family legacy has once again taken centre-stage. With Priyanka Gandhi Vadra stepping into the political spotlight, her connection to the Nehru-Gandhi lineage has become a defining element of her campaign.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra reached the residence of the deceased farmer in the afternoon and attended the 'Antim Ardas' (prayer meeting) and offered her condolences and paid floral tributes.
Priyanka Gandhi and other leaders who have been taken into custody by the police and sent away in a bus after they were stopped told reporters, “Any dissent against this government is classified as having elements of terror. We are undertaking this march to voice our support for the farmers,”
Interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi, her children and senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met with the Congress dissenters in a meeting which is first of a series of meetings to be held in next ten days.
In his press conference, Rahul Gandhi took a dig at Modi Government and said, “The entire country is being pushed to corner and being beaten up. What's the big deal if I was pushed. It's our job to protect the country, we have to stand with the farmers. The government is such that if we stand against them, we will be pushed. Dhakka kha lenge, lathi kha lenge,”
After a brief halt at the site, officials allowed Rahul and Priyanka to drive towards Hathras along with three others.
