Sonia Gandhi Files Nomination for Rajya Sabha, Signaling Shift in Congress Strategy

The move, seen as a prelude to a generational change, comes amid BJP's criticism and the announcement of Congress's Rajya Sabha candidates.

Sonia Gandhi, former Congress president, files nomination for Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan, marking her first term in the Upper House after five terms as a Lok Sabha MP.
The move signifies a strategic shift and generational change within the Congress, with speculation about Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's potential candidacy for Rae Bareli.
BJP criticizes Sonia Gandhi's decision as an admission of Congress's looming defeat in upcoming Lok Sabha polls, claiming the Gandhi family is deserting their strongholds.
Congress announces its first list of Rajya Sabha candidates, including notable names like Ajay Maken and Renuka Chowdhury, for Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana.
The Rajya Sabha elections are set for February 27, with 56 members from 15 states retiring in April.
