The Congress party which is part of the United Democratic Front (UDF) is optimistic about Priyanka's chances citing her charisma and deep connection with voters. 

They believe her grassroots efforts and legacy will lead to a decisive victory.

A local Congress leader praised Priyanka’s empathetic approach and effective engagement with local issues predicting a landslide win. 

The leader also defended Rahul Gandhi’s past candidacy in Wayanad emphasizing it was a strategic choice to counter BJP’s alienation of southern states and highlighted Rahul’s influence in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. 

Addressing BJP’s allegations of nepotism the leader argued Priyanka’s candidacy is based on merit and her ability to resonate with the electorate. 

He explained that the Congress's strategy is to position Rahul in the north and Priyanka in the south aiming to connect with diverse regional demographics and showcase the party’s strengths.
