Priyanka Gandhi fuelled wild speculation across political and media circles on Thursday during her interaction with Congress workers in Rae Bareli. There was a section of the people urged her to fight upcoming elections from the constituency, which is currently held by her mother Sonia Gandhi.
Responding to them, Priyanka Gandhi said in jest, “Why not Varanasi?” It is learned that Varanasi is the Lok Sabha constituency of Prime Minister Modi from where he will be contesting again this year. The Congress and the SP-BSP alliance are yet to declare their candidates against the PM.
The official statement is yet to come and later Priyanka told reporters, “If my party asks me to contest the polls, I will definitely do so. But my personal wish is to work for the party's organization as a lot of work needs to be done.”
