Priyanka announced that she would contest the elections from Wayanad, Kerala, the discussion started on what would be the margin of victory of Priyanka Gandhi?

ELECTION NEWS - Congress has decided to field party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. CPI is now in a dilemma as to whom to field from here. Wayanad Lok Sabha seat has become vacant due to the resignation of Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi has decided to retain Rae Bareli constituency in Uttar Pradesh. He also won from Wayanad. He has announced to make his sister Priyanka Gandhi the candidate from this seat. CPI is part of the India Bloc at the national level. But in Kerala it is the second largest ally in the CPI(M)-led Left government. Its biggest enemy in the state is the Congress party. CPI leader Annie Raja lost badly to Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad seat. It was a matter of relief that he reduced the margin of defeat from 4.37 lakh votes in 2019 to 3.64 lakh votes. Just a few days ago, CPI General Secretary D. Raja's wife Annie Raja had said in a meeting of party leaders that she did not want to contest the elections from Wayanad, but did so on the insistence of Binoy Viswan. Now it is almost clear that she Priyanka is not ready to take on Gandhi and now the responsibility of finding a candidate lies with the Kerala unit of CPI. While the Congress-led UDF is confident of retaining the seat, the only discussion in Wayanad is about the margin of victory. CPI had contested four of the 20 Lok Sabha seats in the state. Another big defeat could put him in big trouble
