Wayanad Will Have Two Representatives in Parliament: Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi emphasized that Wayanad will have two representatives in Parliament. “Along with my sister, I will raise my voice for Wayanad. I will be the unofficial MP for Wayanad, and it will be the only constituency with two MPs,” he stated.
Rahul spoke following Priyanka Gandhi’s road show, which marked the beginning of her election campaign. The by-election was necessitated after Rahul vacated the MP position from Wayanad to retain his seat in Raebareli.
“I am entrusting my sister to Wayanad. Priyanka considers each individual in Wayanad as part of her family, and I am confident she will be there for every issue faced by the people,” Rahul added. The road show in Kalpetta, which stirred excitement in the city, was attended by other national and state leaders, including AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge.
