Senior BJP leader and former Union minister V. Muraleedharan on Tuesday criticized Rahul Gandhi for leaving the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat, saying he was trying to change the constituency as family.
On Monday, Rahul Gandhi announced that he will leave Wayanad. Following this, the Congress decided to field his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to contest from the seat.
– This is a scam by Rahul for the voters of Wayanad. To be fair, he should have told the people of Wayanad during the campaign that he can vacate this seat if he wins that seat. However, he waited for the polling in Wayanad to be over before announcing his decision to contest from the Rabareli seat. This is just a scam,” said Muraleedharan.
Rahul Gandhi also won from the Wayanad seat, but his margin was small in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.
In 2019, he won by more than 4.30 lakh votes, in 2024 Lok Sabha election, Rahul Gandhi’s winning margin decreased to 3.60 lakh votes. K. Surendran, president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, who came third in the recent elections, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in his seat, the Gandhi family can take the Palakkad Congress seat next time. which, under local elections, will go to Robert. Wadra.
