Lok Sabha Election 2019: Priyanka Gandhi desires to contest from Varanasi

Wayanad : For the second time in the three weeks, Congress general secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh (East) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra desired to fight against PM Narendra Modi from Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency.

However, she said that the decision will be entirely in the hands of Rahul Gandhi.

Winding up her two-day trip in Kerala, Priyanka interacted with the media and said, "If Congress President asks me to contest, I will be happy to contest (from Varanasi)."

There have been many calls within the Congress Varanasi unit asking Priyanka to contest the national elections from the temple town.

The talk about Priyanka contesting from Varanasi started when she herself made a remark during an interaction with party leaders and workers in Rae Bareli, the constituency of her mother Sonia Gandhi.
