Parliament Winter Session Highlights: Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha adjourned for the day amid uproar over Sambhal, Adani
Parliament Winter Session Live: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra takes her oath as a Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha today, expressing her joy at the milestone. "I am very happy," Priyanka Gandhi says ahead of the ceremony.
She arrived at Parliament accompanied by her mother and Rajya Sabha MP Sonia Gandhi. Her brother and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, also joins her at the venue.
Congress MP K Suresh remarks on the significance of the occasion, noting that the opposition is thrilled by Priyanka Gandhi's swearing-in. He also highlights plans for a detailed discussion with her about the Wayanad landslide incident. "So far, the Government of India has not sanctioned funds for compensation and rehabilitation, despite the state government's submission of a detailed proposal," Suresh tells ANI.
Priyanka Gandhi won the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat with an impressive margin of 4,10,931 votes, defeating CPI candidate Sathyan Mokeri in a triangular contest that also featured BJP's Navya Haridas. On Wednesday, she described her election certificate as a symbol of trust and shared values, expressing gratitude to the people of Wayanad. "Thank you, Wayanad, for choosing me to take forward this journey to build a better future for yourselves," she wrote on X.
The Wayanad seat was previously held by Rahul Gandhi, who vacated it after opting to represent Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh, in this year's general elections.

Parliament Winter Session Live: TMC to raise 'people's issues' in winter session, Adani case not on agenda
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has emphasized its focus on "people's issues" during the ongoing winter session of Parliament, distancing itself from single-issue disruptions, such as the Congress's focus on the Gautam Adani bribery and fraud case in the US. TMC's deputy leader in the Lok Sabha, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, stated that the party aims to raise concerns such as the deprivation of central funds to West Bengal and the ongoing crisis in Manipur.
Dastidar reiterated that the TMC wants Parliament to function effectively, criticizing disruptions that hinder accountability on broader governance failures. While the party remains a part of the opposition's INDIA bloc at the national level, it maintains an independent outlook and is not part of an electoral alliance within the bloc.
These remarks come as proceedings in both Houses have been disrupted for two consecutive days over the Adani issue, leading to adjournments and limited business being conducted.
