THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The BJP in Kerala has intensified its critique of the Congress party's decision to field Priyanka Gandhi in Wayanad, a seat vacated by Rahul Gandhi. They suggest that the Congress may even consider her husband, Robert Vadra, for the upcoming Palakkad by-poll.
K Surendran and senior BJP leader V Muraleedharan accused the Congress leadership of deceiving Wayanad's constituents, arguing that the party serves only the interests of the Nehru-Gandhi family. Surendran highlighted that Rahul Gandhi's actions have reiterated this notion.
In contrast, Congress leader V D Satheesan defended Priyanka's candidacy, asserting that she would be embraced by the people of Kerala. He remarked that Priyanka is a commendable campaigner against fascist and communal forces, and predicted her success in Wayanad with a larger voting margin.
