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.

Vadra, who has been raising the issue from time to time, said all should raise their voices against the injustice being perpetrated to the Palestinian people.
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.
Certainly, the party spokesperson was quite vocal in saying that Congress members wanted Mr Rahul Gandhi to return to the helm. Yet, a careful reading of the interview in question would show that even the remark made by the younger Ms Gandhi was tinged with condescension.
