Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy seemed to drop a hint that Rahul Gandhi might contest again from Wayanad. Inaugurating the public rally marking the conclusion of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee’s (KPCC) political outreach programme, Samaragni, Mr. Reddy said: “Mr. Gandhi is fighting a tooth-and-claw battle against the BJP to save the country from fascism. In Kerala, he need not worry about his constituency. That frees him to focus on spearheading the national-level battle against the BJP.”
Mr. Reddy also launched a no-holds-barred attack against the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), setting the template for Congress’s campaign in the Lok Sabha elections in Kerala.
Mr. Reddy drew an equivalency between the LDF government and the Bharatiya Rashtra Samiti (BRS) administration he ended in Telangana. “Both are inherently corrupt like the BJP,” Mr. Reddy said.
