Who is Miraya Vadra?
Miraya Vadra, 22, has so far proven to be an adventurous and sports-loving young woman. Former student of Welham Girls' College at Dehradun, she's currently taking an instructor-level course in diving. In fact, Miraya was first known to appear in the news in 2016 during a basketball championship while playing for the Haryana Girls team. She recently followed Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Bharat Jodo Yatra, marking her first appearance with the Congress-led events.

Who is Raihan Vadra?
Raihan Vadra is the 24-year-old elder son of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Robert Vadra. He is a visual artist who has concentrated on photography-with an emphasis specifically on wildlife and road photography-and his work has been featured in several exhibitions, such as "The India Story" at Kolkata. More importantly, Raihan has held two solo art exhibitions: "Dark Perception" and "Guess.".

Raihan exercised his franchise in the 2024 general elections along with his sister. He also shares his views on democracy as follows: "It is hot here, but we get this chance every five years to directly effect a change and participate in democracy. So, everyone should come out and vote."

Campaigning for Priyanka in Wayanad
The Wayanad Lok Sabha seat has traditionally been a Congress stronghold and so the party sees it as a vital seat. Campaigning here is dominated by a sense of family solidarity: both Raihan and Miraya stand with her on the platform, interact with the crowd and seek votes for their mother. The by-election was necessitated after Rahul Gandhi, who had represented the seat, chose to vacate it.

I am proud to say that I have seen the best of India here," Priyanka said addressing an energetic gathering. "I have seen the beauty of nature, the beauty of the spirit of brotherhood, of friendship amongst all communities… I will be proud to represent you in the Parliament if you give me the chance," she said, as she underlined a sense of commitment toward representing all people of Wayanad with dedication and respect.

The Influence of Family on Politics
One of the best examples of the enduring power and legacy of the Gandhi family in Indian politics is the active campaigning by the siblings of Priyanka, Miraya Vadra, and Raihan, whose appeal speaks to the younger generation. Their family has been committed to the Congress party and public service for generations.

The by-election for Wayanad assumes importance for the Congress party, but it also suggests the ways in which Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's role is changing in the politics of the party. With Raihan and Miraya by her side, actually the entire campaign run by Priyanka highlights a family-centric approach that evokes both the old stalwart support bases of Congress and new voter resources.

The Vadra siblings bring an incredible zing to the campaigning in Wayanad, while Priyanka Gandhi's message of unity and commitment seems to have sent waves among the populace in Wayanad. Once again, this will be a very closely watched election as it would be a huge step for the Congress party in Kerala.
