Pathanamthitta: Anil Antony, the NDA candidate in Pathanamthitta Lok Sabha constituency and son of veteran Congress leader A.K Antony, said he feels sorry for his father. Anil was responding to A K Antony’s statement that his son should lose the elections. 

“I am saddened to see the former Defence minister campaigning for an MP who had disparaged the Indian Army and even tried to whitewash Pakistan’s terrorist moves,” Anil said.

“People have been rejecting A K Antony’s call since 2014. Antony is the one who had said that Rahul Gandhi would become the prime minister in the last election. Rahul Gandhi is useless. People will not accept a failed

Rahul Gandhi. They will decide whether he will win in Wayanad,”Anil added.

Earlier, A K Antony responded that Anto Antony will win with a good majority. He said that he does not wish to speak much about children as that kind of language is not something that he is used to.
