Kerala's Wayanad is the only bright spot for the Congress today as the Grand Old Party posted one of its worst performances in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. In the Lok Sabha by-polls in Wayanad, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is not only set to fill her brother Rahul Gandhi's shoes, she is doing it in spades, surpassing his 2024 record vote margin by noon. Where Rahul Gandhi had a margin of 3.65 lakh votes in the Lok Sabha election held earlier this year, Ms Gandhi Vadra secured over 6.1 lakh votes, leading her nearest rival, CPM's Sathyan Mokeri who has polled 2.06 lakh votes.
