Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s decision to contest from Kerala’s Wayanad apart from Amethi has been criticised by BJP. At the Congress manifesto release event on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi cleared the air on why he chose Wayanad as his second seat for the Lok Sabha elections. “South India feels hostility from the PM, they feel they are not being included in the decision making in the country. I want to send a message that I am standing with them,” Rahul Gandhi said. With this decision, Rahul Gandhi becomes the third member of the Gandhi family to select a second seat from south India.
