Sonia Gandhi is likely to be nominated from a seat in Rajasthan and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra contest from the family turf of Raebareli, sources said.
Congress's Sonia Gandhi is likely to move from the hurly burly of Lok Sabha elections, handing the baton to daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, sources have indicated. The veteran leader is likely to be nominated from a seat in Rajasthan. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will contest from the family turf of Raebareli, sources said. This would be Ms Gandhi Vadra's first election.
For the Congress, it would be a huge Change of Guard -- Sonia Gandhi has been representing Raebareli for decades.
She had won the seat even in 2019, when the Congress performance was at its all-time low and Rahul Gandhi lost the other family turf of Uttar Pradesh -- Amethi -- to the BJP's Smriti Irani.
