Rahul Gandhi addressed a public meeting as sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra filed her nomination to contest the upcoming bypoll in the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat.
Wayanad is set to have two MPs, one of them "unofficial", and both will work together to protect its interests, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said today. Mr Gandhi said this at a public meeting as his sister and party colleague Priyanka Gandhi Vadra filed her nomination to contest the upcoming bypoll in the Lok Sabha seat. In the Lok Sabha polls this year, Rahul Gandhi won both Wayanad and Rae Bareli seats and decided to retain the latter, paving the way for the bypoll. Mr Gandhi represented Wayanad in Lok Sabha from 2019-2024.
Seeking support for his sister, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha said, "I think you understand very well the relationship I share with the people of Wayanad. What Wayanad has done for me cannot be expressed in words. When feelings are really deep, the only way to express them is through action," he said.
"I would like to remind you Wayanad is the only constituency in the country that has two MPs, one is official, the other unofficial, and they will work together to protect the interests of the people of Wayanad," Mr Gandhi said.
