Delhi polls: Priyanka, Robert, son cast votes

New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, her husband Robert Vadra and son Raihan Rajiv Vadra on Saturday exercised their franchise in the Delhi Assembly polls here.

Priyanka, who earlier accompanied her mother and party interim chief Sonia Gandhi at Nirman Bhawan polling station in central Delhi, along with her family cast their votes at Sardar Patel Vidyalaya polling booth in south Delhi’s upscale Lodhi Estate area.

Raihan Rajiv Vadra, who is son of the couple and had missed voting during the Lok Sabha, also exercised his vote. Earlier in the day, Priyanka’s brother Rahul Gandhi also exercised his franchise at a polling booth in central Delhi’s Aurangzeb Lane.

The Congress which ruled the city for 15 years from 1998 to 2013 is looking for a comeback in this election. The party was reduced to zero in the 70-member assembly in the 2015 polls, while the AAP won 67 seats. The remaining three seats were won by the BJP. Counting of votes will take place on February 11.
