Priyanka Gandhi won the Wayanad bypoll with a huge majority. She surpassed the majority of her brother Rahul Gandhi. She created a new record by winning a majority of over five lakh votes. She is raising public issues in Parliament. In this context, there is a controversy over her election. What is the point of this?
Priyanka Gandhi was elected to the Lok Sabha from Wayanad last November. She entered the fray after Rahul Gandhi resigned. The people there gave her a huge majority. However, BJP candidate Navya is alleging that her victory is invalid. Navya Haridas claims that her family and property details were wrongly shown in the election nomination papers. Navya alleges that Priyanka Gandhi hid very important things. Did you say that she has filed a petition in the High Court regarding this.
She also complained to the Election Commissioner on the same issue.. but the EC did not consider her objections.. So she approached the court.. Navya reveals that there is a possibility of a hearing on this in January. However, top Congress party leaders are strongly condemning Navya’s allegations.. They say that Navya is playing cheap tricks for publicity.. Even if she goes to court.. they make it clear that they have no interest.
Manikya Thakur expressed his anger that it has become common for defeated BJP candidates to make such comments in every state of the country. Congress leaders say that the BJP is taking such actions for political gain. However, neither Priyanka Gandhi nor the BJP top leadership has made any comments on this so far. Overall, there is no end in sight for the Wayanad Panchayat right now.
