The Kerala unit BJP president, K. Surendran, asserted on Tuesday that Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader and incumbent MP from the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, has deceived the voters of the region.
Surendran is set to enter the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as a candidate from the Wayanad LS constituency under the BJP banner.
His arrival in the Wayanad district on Tuesday was met with an enthusiastic reception in Kalpetta town, with party supporters thronging the streets to greet him.
As Surendran's roadshow made its way through Kalpetta, hundreds of BJP enthusiasts could be seen waving flags and chanting praises for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Rahul Gandhi has betrayed the trust of the voters who bestowed upon him a significant mandate. Wayanad is yearning for progress, and this time around, the scenario will be different as people have come to understand the essence of the 'Modi Guarantee,' as demonstrated by the Prime Minister to the nation. With PM Modi's resolve, Wayanad is poised to flourish like never before," remarked Surendran.
During the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Rahul Gandhi secured a resounding victory in Wayanad, clinching a staggering lead of 4.31 lakh votes.
Despite initially showing reluctance to contest this time, Surendran was urged by the party's national leadership on Sunday to take on Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad.
