Newly-elected MP Priyanka Gandhi sits next to Rahul in front row of Oppn benches
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday sat in a front row seat of the Opposition benches, right next to her brother Rahul Gandhi, who is the leader of the Opposition. The siblings were sitting together, chatting and looking at the Congress MPs, who were raising slogans from the Well when the Lok Sabha reassembled at 12 noon after the first adjournment at 11 am.
They remained so till the House adjourned for the day within a few minutes.
While Vadra sitting next to Gandhi coincided with chatter about the emerging 'dual centres of power' in the Congress benches in the LS, some party MPs later said she has been formally allotted a third-row seat, still an upgradation for a first-termer, but they also added there can't be any bar on Vadra from sitting next to Gandhi if she wishes so and if a seat is vacant next to the LoP. Congress circles are watching whether Vadra will choose to sit next to her brother regularly.
