Mamata Banerjee to campaign for Priyanka Gandhi in Wayanad: Report

Priyanka Gandhi is making her foray into electoral politics from the Kerala seat her brother, Rahul Gandhi, won earlier this month. Rahul Gandhi won the Lok Sabha polls from Rae Bareli and Wayanad -- both by margins of over three lakh votes. He has retained the Uttar Pradesh constituency.

Mamata Banerjee and the Congress didn't contest the West Bengal Lok Sabha polls in alliance as they fell out due to disagreement over seat distribution. However, the two parties remain allies on the national level under the INDIA bloc umbrella.

In December, Banerjee had suggested that Priyanka Gandhi must contest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi, reported NDTV, citing sources.
