Rahul Gandhi still in dilemma, says Wayanad and Rae Bareli will be happy with any decision

Malappuram: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who won from Wayanad 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 forgo. 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 Wayanad 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 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.

"The truth is the Prime Minister barely escaped in Varanasi and he would have been defeated himself in Varanasi. The BJP was defeated in Ayodhya. The people of Ayodhya have given a message that we do appreciate hatred and violence.."

He also claimed that "before the elections, you saw the BJP leaders saying that they would tear up the Constitution. After elections, you saw the Prime Minister doing this (touches the Constitution to his forehead) to the Constitution"

Mocking at Modi, the Congress leader said God directed 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.

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 people of Kerala, Uttar Pradesh and all other states showed the Prime Minister that he cannot dictate to the people of India what they want. The people of India also so the PM that the Constitution is our voice, do not touch it," he added.
