Thiruvananthapuram: KPCC president Mullapally Ramachandran said that the Congress president Rahul Gandhi will romp home with a record majority if he decides to contest from Wayanad. While talking to reporters at Indira Bhavan on Tuesday, Mullapally said he is familiar with the spirit of Wayanad, as it was earlier a part of the Kannur Lok Sabha constituency.
Mullapally said people have got doubts only about one thing, and that is the victory margin. He said that if Rahul Gandhi wins from both Wayanad and Amethi seats, he will have to choose one and a decision would be taken about it later.
“KPCC leadership has asked unanimously to Rahul Gandhi to contest from Wayanad. But at the same time, booth level leaders have also put forth a similar demand,” said Mullapally
He also added that apart from Kerala, the other two neighbouring states, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu Congress leaderships too have come out with their proposals to field Rahul Gandhi in their respective states.
“This is not the first time Congress leaders have contested from South India. Rahul Gandhi had expressed happiness with the way the party programmes in Kerala became a huge success. He had evaluated that Congress is putting up a show,” added Mullapally.
He also informed that all the UDF allies had expressed happiness about Rahul Gandhi's candidature in Wayanad. Mullapally maintained that more discussions are on at the national level. He feigned ignorance about CWC leader P. C. Chacko criticizing the move of the KPCC leadership to bring Rahul Gandhi. Mullapally also informed that the there is no confusion prevailing on the candidature of K. Muraleedharan in Vatakara.
