Is the political game going to start in Wayanad, which was hit by natural disaster some time ago? Will BJP also take this election which is very special to Congress as a challenge? CPI, which could not get an upper hand over Rahul in Wayanad, will give another Congress chief a tough competition? This is now a hot discussion in political circles.
Another important election campaign has rang in the city. Along with Maharashtra and Jharkhand Assemblies, by-elections will be held for the crucial Wayanad Lok Sabha seat. The EC has announced that the election will be held for the Wayanad Parliament seat on November 13. Counting of votes for Wayanad by-election will be held on November 23 along with the assembly election results.
Priyanka Gandhi is contesting from Wayanad
It must be said that this time the By-election of Wayanad Parliament is very special for the Congress party along with Maharashtra and Jharkhand. The main reason for this is that Priyanka Gandhi, who belongs to the Gandhi family, will contest from here. Congress chief Rahul Gandhi contested from Rae Bareli in UP along with Wayanad in the last general election. He won both the seats with huge majority. Suspense continued for a few days as to which seat he would give up in these two positions. But Rahul Gandhi, who decided to continue as an MP from Rae Bareli seat, resigned from the post of Wayanad MP.
Rahul Gandhi, who announced that he is resigning as Wayanad MP, has also given clarity on the issue of who will contest from Wayanad in his place. He said that his younger sister Priyanka Gandhi will contest. Congress president Mallikarjuna Kharge himself announced this. Priyanka Gandhi’s name as Wayanad Congress candidate was finalized less than three months ago.
Who will contest on behalf of CPI and BJP?
Rahul Gandhi contested from Wayanad for the first time along with Amethi in 2019. Rahul Gandhi, who lost from Amethi at that time, won in Wayanad with a huge majority. He continued as Wayanad MP from 2019-24. In the 2024 general election, Rahul Gandhi, who contested from Rae Bareli in UP once again from Wayanad, won with a majority of 3 lakh 64 thousand against his nearest rival, CPI candidate Anni Raja. Surendran, who contested here as a BJP candidate, got one lakh 41 thousand votes. There is interest in the Wayanad by-election in the background of Priyanka Gandhi who is going to contest the elections for the first time. Who will contest on behalf of CPI and BJP in Wayanad this time? There is a heated discussion in the political circles on the issue of how the competition will be for Priyanka from the two parties. Since Priyanka Gandhi will be contesting this time, there is a possibility that BJP will take this by-election as a challenge. There is no doubt that the ranks of the Congress will also take this by-election as ambitious. So.. Wayanad by Pole War.. Chances of an interesting fight are high.
