Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut believes that Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra can win from the Varanasi constituency against Prime Minister Narendra Modi if she throws her hat in the ring for next year’s general elections.

“If Priyanka Gandhi fights from Varanasi against PM Narendra Modi, then she will win for sure. Varanasi people want Priyanka Gandhi,” Raut was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

He also opined that the fight for Raebareli, Varanasi and Amethi would be difficult for the BJP.


Earlier, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra had said that his wife Priyanka Gandhi would be “very good” in Parliament and hoped that the party plans better for her.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra did not enter electoral fray despite rumours saying she might. PM Modi won the constituency with over 63 per cent of votes as against SP’s Shalini Yadav who polled 18 per cent of votes and Ajay Rai of the Congress who secured over 14 per cent of votes.

For the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, 26 opposition parties have come together under the coalition of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) to take on the ruling NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.
