Priyanka Gandhi now becomes the third member of the Gandhi family in Parliament; apart from Mr Gandhi, her mother, ex-Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, is a Rajya Sabha MP.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra registered a massive win from Wayanad when votes were counted on Saturday; she polled over 6.22 lakh votes, more than four lakh ahead of second-placed Sathyan Mokeri of the Communist Party of India and 5.12 lakh more than the BJP’s Navya Haridas.
