Rahul Gandhi torn between relinquishing Wayanad or Raebareli

Kozhikode: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stated on Wednesday that he was undecided on which constituency, Wayanad or Raebareli, he should relinquish. 

He was in Wayanad, the constituency he had won in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections. 

Gandhi drove to Edavana in the Malappuram district, which is a part of his constituency, after arriving at the Kozhikode airport in the morning. 

He was given a rousing welcome and in his first public meeting, he said that he was in a dilemma about Wayanad and Raebareli.

“Unfortunately like Prime Minister Modi, I am not guided by god as am a human being...God takes all decisions. But I don’t have that luxury as I am an ordinary human being. My god is the poor people of India. My god is the people of Wayanad. For me, it’s very easy as I will speak to you. What I will commit to the people of Wayanad and Raebareli... whatever decision I take ... all of you will be happy,” said Gandhi.

Gandhi retained his Wayanad seat easily but with a reduced margin which was 4.37 lakh in 2019 and 3.64 lakh votes in 2024. After Edavana he will reach Kalpetta to address his second meeting, and later will return to Delhi.
