Wayanad Reacts After Rahul Gandhi Agrees To Contest From UP's Raebareli

Rahul Gandhi won the 2019 polls from Wayanad but lost the Amethi seat in Uttar Pradesh. This time at Wayanad, he was pitted against CPI leader Annie Raja and state BJP president K. Surendran.

With Rahul Gandhi deciding to contest the Raebareli Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh as well, there were mixed reactions from people in Kerala's Wayanad.

Elections were held in Wayanad Lok Sabha seat on April 26. While some people said there was nothing wrong for him to contest Raebareli too, there were some who said it was wrong on his part.

At a wayside shop in Wayanad, one person said there was nothing wrong with Mr Gandhi's decision to contest from two seats. "He is leading the INDIA bloc and hence there is nothing wrong in it," while another said, "if he wins from both the seats, it's most likely that he will vacate the Wayanad seat."
