Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was sworn in as a Member of Parliament today. The ceremony was attended by her brother Rahul Gandhi and mother Sonia Gandhi, both of whom are also members of Parliament. With her swearing-in, Priyanka joined the list of Indian politicians from families with multiple parliamentary representatives.
A Unique Parliamentary Presence
This marks a significant moment in Indian politics as, for the first time, three members of the Gandhi family—Sonia Gandhi (Rajya Sabha), Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi (both Lok Sabha)—are serving as MPs simultaneously.
A Historic Victory
Priyanka's victory in Wayanad is noteworthy, not only because it marks her formal entry into electoral politics but also due to the magnitude of her win. Drawing on her decades of political experience in advisory and campaign roles, she turned her debut into a landmark achievement.
Her success signals a renewed momentum for the Congress in Kerala and strengthens her position as a prominent leader in Indian politics.
