Mumbai, September 30: Did Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra change her son Rehan Robert Vadra’s name to Rehan Rajiv Gandhi in court? This is the claim doing the rounds on social media, with several users suggesting that Priyanka is attempting to rebrand her son with the Gandhi surname. The post is being circulated with a picture of Priyanka and her son, adding weight to the speculation and fueling online chatter.

The claim picked up steam after a post by user @Tushar_KN on September 29, which read, "Rahul Gandhi calls on Gen-Z to fight, while his sister props up a Nepo kid." The tweet has since garnered over 375.6K views on X, drawing attention to the alleged name change. Many users began questioning whether Priyanka had indeed legally altered her son’s identity to align with the Gandhi family legacy. Is PM Narendra Modi Govt Offering INR 2,500 to Unemployed Youths Under ‘Berojgari Bhatta Yojana 2025’?
