Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday dropped enough hints to send home the message that he may be contesting from Wayanad yet again. “The people of Wayanad are like my family. I love coming back to them and meeting my friends. The more I come to Wayanad, the more I feel that it is my home,” said Mr. Gandhi on two occasions.
First, he was releasing a book on former Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leader P. Seethi Haji at Kozhikode. Second, he was inaugurating various projects of the Nilambur block panchayat at Chungathara.
Mr. Gandhi sounded nostalgic on both occasions. Those watching Mr. Gandhi interpreted his nostalgic fervour as his keenness to contest from Wayanad for the second time in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Mr. Gandhi was elected to the Lok Sabha with a record margin of 431,770 votes in the 2019 elections.
