Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J.P. Nadda on Friday said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was contesting in the Wayanad constituency as he was aware that he did not stand a chance in Amethi.
Addressing an NDA roadshow here in connection with the election campaign of BJP State president K. Surendran, Mr. Nadda said Mr. Gandhi decided to align with the Social Democratic Party of India, political arm of the PFI, as he was not confident of facing people.
Mr. Gandhi, who is facing probe in the National Herald case, had no other option but to protect corrupt people. “Mr. Gandhi is driven by his family politics but his motto is politics of appeasement,” he said.
