Congress President Rahul Gandhi will be contesting from Wayanad, Kerala as his second Lok Sabha seat. The party has already announced his candidature from its bastion Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. The announcement was made by senior Congress leader AK Antony at a press conference.
In a press conference at Congress’ headquarters in New Delhi, AK Antony announced Rahul Gandhi’s decision to fight the forthcoming lok sabha elections from Wayanad constituency in Kerala. Elaborating on the party chief’s decision, Randeep Surjewala cited the “geographical importance” of Wayanad and said that the decision was taken to fight the “discriminatory” attitude of the BJP towards the southern states in India. He also added, why did Modi ji leave Gujarat and is contesting from Varanasi? Was he not confident in Gujarat? Same allegations could have been made when Narendra Modi left Gujarat.These are immature and childish comments Smriti Irani lost Chandni Chowk and Amethi. Now she is prepped up for losing again in Amethi.
