Congress leader Rahul Gandhi posted a Diwali video in which he is seen showing his nephew Rehan Rajiv Vadra. This video, which came soon after Priyanka Gandhi Vadra entered the electoral fray, is being seen as Rehan’s “soft launch”.
Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi shared a video on Instagram on Friday. In this video, Rahul Gandhi was seen talking to the workers painting the 10 Janpath residence and also trying his hand on their brush. The special thing was that during this time his nephew Rehan Vadra was also seen with him.
After seeing this video uploaded with the caption ‘A Diwali with those, whose hard work illuminates India!’, speculation has increased that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s son Rehan Vadra may also enter politics soon. Both supporters and opponents of Congress are seeing this video as a “soft launch” of the fifth generation member of the Nehru-Gandhi-Vadra family.
Rehan is a visual artist and curator
The timing of the video is interesting as it comes just after Rehan’s mother Priyanka Gandhi Vadra entered electoral politics. She filed her nomination papers for the Lok Sabha bypoll just a few days ago after Rahul Gandhi vacated the seat.

According to the website of 24-year-old Rehan Vadra, he is a visual artist and curator. According to the website, Rehan’s visual works range from wildlife and street to commercial photography. He has held exhibitions of his work in many places including New Delhi and Mumbai.
Interacted with workers
In the video, Rahul Gandhi says, “Usually when we celebrate Diwali, we do not talk about the people who bring happiness to our homes. Today I want to talk to them and know their problems.” In the video, Rehan can be seen helping Rahul while trying his hand on the brush, while his uncle is trying to help the painters and workers working at 10, Janpath bungalow.
10 Janpath bungalow is the residence of Sonia Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi has been living here since he was disqualified as an MP in 2023. Rahul also told his nephew that he is not a big fan of 10, Janpath bungalow as his father Rajiv Gandhi died while living here. The video shows a conversation between Rahul Gandhi and the workers, questions and answers related to their problems and daily life.
