In dilemma on whether to retain Wayanad or Rae Bareli LS seat, says Rahul Gandhi
Malappuram (Kerala) (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who won from Wayand and Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seats in the 2024 general elections said on Wednesday that he was in a dilemma as to which constituency he should relinquish.
Gandhi said that whatever decision he will take, both constituencies will be happy with it.
He thanked the people of Wayanad for electing him for a second term in Lok Sabha and said, "I look forward to seeing you soon."
"I have a dilemma before me, whether I should be the MP of Wayanad or of Rae Bareli. What I will commit to you is that both Wayand and Rae Bareli will be happy with my decision," the Congress leader said while speaking at a public meeting here.
It is his first appearance in the state after winning the Wayanad LS seat by a huge margin for the second consecutive time.
Gandhi took a dig at Narendra Modi by saying that he does not receive any directions from God on what has to be done the way the PM does.
Mocking at Modi, the Congress leader said God directs the PM to hand over the country's major airports and power plants to Adani.
"But, I am a human being. My God are the poor people of the country. So, for me it is easy. I just talk to the people and they tell me what to do," Gandhi said.
During his speech, he also said that the fight in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls was for protecting the Constitution of India and in that fight, hatred has been defeated by love and affection, arrogance by humility.
Gandhi also said that PM Modi will now have to change his attitude because the people of India have sent him a clear message.
The Congress leader called the government formed at the Centre as a "crippled one".
With all my heart, I would like to thank every single person in Wayanad who supported me.

Congress continues disciplinary action; four Youth Congress district presidents removed
Bengaluru: The Congress high command has continued disciplinary action following allegations of anti-party activities after the by-elections to the Davangere South and Bagalkot Assembly constituencies.
The All India Youth Congress Committee has taken action against four district presidents are Syed Afrid Pasha (Kolar), Ashok B. Nayak (Vijayanagar), Nikhil Raj (Tumakuru), and Syed Abrar (Mysuru City).
The order states that the leaders were found to be inactive in party activities and had failed to discharge their responsibilities effectively. They have been temporarily relieved of their duties.
Earlier, MLC Abdul Jabbar was suspended from primary membership over alleged anti-party activities during the Davangere South by-election, while senior leader and MLC Naseer Ahmed was relieved of his role as the Chief Minister’s political secretary.
The latest action has drawn reactions from some community leaders and party members, with concerns raised over the leadership’s decisions.
