In a media interaction, Daman’s Congress chief, Ketan Patel, disclosed that Priyanka Gandhi is being considered as a potential candidate. He expressed a welcoming attitude towards this proposal from Daman-Diu. High Command is responsible for providing data along with accountability. Further details will be revealed shortly.

The decision regarding this matter will be taken by the party shortly. The recent meeting was chaired by the Congress party itself. My father has also served as the Member of Parliament for Daman-Diu for two terms. Then Lalubhai came into the scene. Lalubhai too shifted from Congress to BJP. 

However, there hasn’t been anything particularly special for BJP in Daman-Diu. Nevertheless, this seat is secure for Congress, hence Priyanka Ji can contest from here. The Bharatiya Janata Party has been in power for 3 terms. However, there is significant discontent among the people. If we talk only about Diu, 75% of the people are upset with BJP. We can benefit from this in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Moreover, there will be significant advantages from Daman as well.
