As Rahul Gandhi enters Rae Bareli poll ring, Wayanad hopes he will choose it: ‘He cannot abandon us’
Putting speculation to rest, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh on Friday, evoking sharp responses from both the BJP and the Left in Kerala. But the people of Wayanad said that Rahul, who entered the Lower House of Parliament from the seat in 2019 after losing the family turf of Amethi to Union Minister Smriti Irani, would not leave the seat even if he won both. Wayanad voted in the second phase on April 26 with the rest of the constituencies in Kerala.
