By the way, it was in 2019 that the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat got here beneath worldwide consideration when Congress chief Rahul Gandhi was named by the get together to contest the seat and when votes have been counted he gained with a staggering margin of 4.6 lakh.
However at his subsequent outing on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls on April 26, Rahul Gandhi’s profitable margin got here down to three.64 lakh and one cause was the presence of the State BJP President Okay. Surendran, who was in a position to double the votes secured by their NDA ally candidate Thushar Vellapally on the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
Nevertheless, with Rahul Gandhi deciding to vacate Wayanad in favour of Raebareli, there was a sombre feeling in Wayanad, particularly among the many hardcore Congress employees that the transfer may backfire.
However simply earlier than Rahul vacated the seat on his go to to the constituency, he assured that he wouldn’t depart Wayanad similar to that and the shock announcement got here that it might be Priyanka Gandhi who would substitute him which was greeted with a whole lot of pleasure.
The truth that the voters at Wayanad has accepted Priyanka Gandhi’s candidature got here when the brother-sister duo came around when 4 districts of the district have been washed away in July at one of many worst-ever tragedies that occurred at a single place in Kerala, leaving near 400 individuals both useless or lacking, the individuals regardless of their disappointment have been seen turning out in giant numbers to see them.
In the meantime, the victory of Priyanka Gandhi is actually a foregone conclusion and it got here from none apart from the ever-optimistic State BJP President Surendran, who quickly after the ballot date was introduced, mentioned, “We want to make it very clear that we’ll proceed our profitable streak and are available out profitable within the two Meeting by-elections and at Wayanad we will probably be placing up a stiff battle.”
For the ruling Left Democratic Entrance, the seat is for the second largest ally — CPI. Final time Annie Raja, the spouse of the get together’s Normal Secretary D. Raja was their candidate and this time they’re finalising their candidate which is predicted to be introduced quickly, so could be the BJP.
Now all eyes will probably be on the arrival of Priyanka Gandhi because the Gandhi household has been the preferred political household which has gained the hearts of many.
