Rahul Gandhi won the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections from two seats - Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli and Kerala's Wayanad. He gave up the Wayanad seat and retained Raebareli seat.

Priyanka Gandhi has been fielded by the Congress from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat vacated by her brother.

Ahead of taking oath as a member of Parliament from Rae Bareli, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrote an emotional letter to the people of Wayanad on Sunday, thanking them for their support.

In the letter, the former Congress chief said he is sad but also consoled as his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, will represent the people of Wayanad in Parliament.

Rahul Gandhi was elected to the Lok Sabha from Kerala's Wayanad in 2019 after he lost the poll contest from his family bastion of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.
