Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a newly elected Member of Parliament (MP) from Wayanad, Kerala, is set to deliver her inaugural speech in the Lok Sabha today, December 13, at 12 noon. Her speech will take place during the debate on the Constitution, marking the 75th year of its adoption. This debate, which will continue in the Lok Sabha on December 13-14 and in the Rajya Sabha on December 16-17, provides an opportunity for lawmakers from both sides to engage in discussions about the significance of the Constitution and its relevance in contemporary India.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s First Lok Sabha Speech:
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who took oath as an MP on November 28, will speak for the first time in the Winter Session of Parliament. She won the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in the bypolls, securing a massive victory with a margin of 4,10,931 votes, defeating Sathyan Mokeri of the Communist Party of India (CPI). Vadra’s entry into Parliament makes her the third member of the Gandhi family currently serving as an MP.

According to Congress leader Pawan Khera, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is expected to speak on the Constitution debate, a topic that is scheduled for discussion in the Lok Sabha today. The debate will focus on the Constitution’s history, impact, and the journey of Indian democracy since its adoption in 1949.

Key Highlights of the Constitution Debate:
The Constitution debate will be initiated by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in the Lok Sabha, with a similar debate planned for the Rajya Sabha under the leadership of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The debate in both Houses is set against the backdrop of a political face-off between the government and the opposition, which has led to heated exchanges during the ongoing Winter Session. The INDIA bloc has moved a motion calling for the removal of Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, further intensifying the political environment in Parliament.

Prime Minister Modi’s Role:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to respond to the two-day debate on the Constitution in the Lok Sabha on Saturday, December 16. His address is anticipated to highlight the government’s position on the Constitution and its evolving role in shaping India's future.

The Ongoing Winter Session of Parliament:
The current Winter Session, which began on November 25, is expected to conclude on December 20. During this session, political tensions have escalated, with the BJP and Congress trading accusations over various issues. The BJP has sought to counter bribery charges against the Adani Group by linking Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, to US billionaire George Soros, creating a controversial political narrative.

As the Winter Session progresses, the Constitution debate will serve as a crucial moment for the country’s political leaders to reflect on India’s democratic journey and its future direction. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s speech will be a significant moment in the ongoing legislative discussions and could offer new insights into her political stance and vision for the nation.
