Sonia Gandhi to RS from Karnataka? DK Shivakumar dismisses as speculation
Karnataka is not unfamiliar to the top AICC leader as she had contested the 1999 Lok Sabha elections from Bellary and won against BJP leader the late, Sushma Swaraj. There have been speculations that the 77-year-old Congress leader is unlikely to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha election, and there has been a thinking within the Congress to send her to the Rajya Sabha either from Karnataka or from Himachal Pradesh. Both states are ruled by Congress. Her son Rahul Gandhi represents Wayanad in the Lok Sabha, and there has been pressure that he seeks reelection from Kerala this time too.
