Sonia Gandhi's Transition: A New Era for Congress

Sonia Gandhi, former Congress president, retires from electoral politics after 25 years in the Lok Sabha, citing health concerns and a desire to step away from intense electoral politics. Her decision to file nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha elections from Rajasthan raises questions about the future of the Congress party, especially as the party faces ongoing changes and challenges. Speculation arises about whether her daughter Priyanka might take her place in the Lok Sabha from Rae Bareli, but no concrete information has been provided yet. Despite stepping back from the front row of the Lok Sabha, Sonia Gandhi's influence within the party's parliamentary group remains strong as she is anticipated to continue leading as the chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party.
