Rahul Gandhi retains Raebareli seat, vacates Wayanad for Priyanka
New Delhi (PTI): All India Congress Committee President Mallikarjun Kharge said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will retain the Raebareli Lok Sabha seat and vacate Wayanad seat for Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Rahul Gandhi, who won from both Raebareli and Wayanad, must vacate one of the seats within 14 days of the election result. "Party has decided that Rahul Gandhi should retain the Raebareli seat since it is close to the family," Kharge stated after discussions with senior party leaders at his residence.

POCSO case: Bandi Sanjay asks son to appear before police, urges cooperation
Hyderabad (PTI): A day after the Telangana High Court refused to grant interim relief to Bandi Bageerath, who has been booked under a POCSO case, his father and Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Saturday said he has asked his son to appear before the police and join the probe.
In a statement, Bandi Sanjay said he had asked his son to cooperate with the police soon after the complaint was registered last week.
However, Bageerath, who has been repeatedly maintaining that he has done no wrongdoing, presented evidence in his favour to his lawyers, the union minister said.
According to Bandi Sanjay, the lawyers opined that the case would be quashed and that Bageerath would get bail, which led to the delay.
