Likely to be a fellow MP from Kerala, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi got a special shoutout from veteran legislator Shashi Tharoor. 'No more doubt, here comes Priyanka,' the Thiruvananthapuram MP wrote on social media to welcome Priyanka to the ways of a legislator.

Tharoor also posted a picture of Priyanka, who announced that she would be contesting for Wayanad's seat, which was previously held by her brother Rahul Gandhi.

Similar reactions came in from other Congress leaders in Kerala. The party's Kerala unit on Monday welcomed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to Wayanad and expressed confidence that she would secure a record winning margin in the high-range constituency in the upcoming bypoll.

"Rahul and the party are designating Priyanka, who is even more popular in dearest Wayanad," V D Satheesan, Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly said in a Facebook post.

Senior party leader and former MP K Muraleedharan said Priyanka's arrival is a happy moment for the people of Wayanad.

"This is a happy moment for the people of Wayanad. In today's scenario, Rahul Gandhi cannot leave Rae Bareli. His strong work helped the party make inroads in UP again. At the same time, Priyanka Gandhi coming to Wayanad is a joyous moment for the people of Wayanad and Kerala," he said.

Rahul had won from Wayanad and Rae Bareli Lok Sabha constituencies and he has to vacate one of the seats within 14 days of the Lok Sabha results, which came out on June 4.
