In an emotional moment at the Parliament, Rahul Gandhi, MP from Rae Bareli, was photographed taking a picture of his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra just before she took her oath as a new Member of Parliament. Priyanka, elected from Kerala's Wayanad constituency in the recent bypolls, made her debut in the Lok Sabha after her brother vacated the seat, choosing to continue representing Rae Bareli, the Gandhi family stronghold in Uttar Pradesh.

It was a historic moment as she entered active politics 20 years after supporting her mother Sonia Gandhi and brother Rahul during the 2004 elections. Priyanka was seen holding the Constitution booklet, a symbol that has become a common sight in the current Parliament session, especially after Rahul and other MPs from the INDIA alliance began carrying it, all dressed in a graceful off-white saree with a golden border.

As she took the oath, the Parliament was filled with the slogans of "Bharat Jodo" and thunderous applauds by fellow MPs. With Priyanka entering, now all three Gandhis - Rahul, Sonia, and Priyanka—are present in the Parliament. Today, Sonia is a Rajya Sabha member.

The chaos in Parliament, however, quickly overshadowed the ceremony with both Houses being adjourned amid Opposition protests. The entry of Priyanka Gandhi marked an important political milestone for the Gandhi family even if it was marred by turmoil.
