Massive show of support for Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi ahead of her Wayand nomination filing

Rahul Gandhi for five years did nothing. I suspect Priyanka Gandhi will continue to follow the same tradition: Rajeev Chandrasekhar

"Being parachuted into Wayanad is nothing but an attempt to hoodwink the people of Wayanad again. I don't think the people of Wayanad are ready to be fooled again. Rahul Gandhi fooled them once but this time they will not be fooled. The NDA has put forth a very competent, dynamic, hard-working candidate Navya Haridas. She has a proven track record of serving the public as a counsellor. So the two sharp differences between the BJP and the Congress are visible in Wayanad....Rahul Gandhi for five years did nothing. I suspect Priyanka Gandhi will continue to follow the same tradition. I think the people of Wayanad will certainly support Navya Haridas because she's a much more competent person. She's more qualified. She's from Kerala, she speaks Malayalam and she is committed to working hard for the people of Wayanad. Priyanka Gandhi is not from Kerala, doesn't speak Malayalam, doesn't know what the problems of Wayanada are and is succeeding an MP, her own brother, who did nothing for Wayanad for the last five years...," said Rajeev Chandrasekhar.

Priyanka Gandhi has cleared that they only think about Muslim votes: BJP spokesperson

"The Nehru-Gandhi family has cleared that they feel themselves safe in only the constituency where there are Muslim voters. Wayanad has 30 pc Muslim voters. The Congress party behaves like a modern Muslim league. After facing defeat in Amethi, Rahul Gandhi runs to a constituency where there is 30 pc Muslim voters. Priyanka Gandhi is making debut there. Their political strategy is to get 90 pc of these 30 pc Muslim voters. Congress is doing real communal politics. Before the independence, this used to be done by Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Today, Congress is doing it by dividing Hindus in castes, and wants to consolidate. Priyanka Gandhi has cleared that they only think about Muslim votes," says BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari to PTI.
