Priyanka Vadra the sister of Rahul Gandhi took to twitter to appeal to the Wayanad constituents to take care of the Congress president.
In the tweet, she also called Rahul Gandhi “her brother, truest friend” and assured that he won’t let Wayanad down. Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination papers from the constituency from Thursday (4 April).
Such an appeal to ask a constituency to take care of its prospective Member of Parliament while the situation is usually the other way round, left people puzzled:
Incidentally, the Congress has already courted controversy in Wayanad by reportedly giving strict instructions to the workers of its major ally Muslim League not to use the green flag as it could backfire in ‘North India’.
Tribals from the constituency have also refused to show much enthusiasm in the electoral process and remain oblivious to Congress chief’s move to go down south, saying that their priority issues are food, shelter and fighting elephant attacks.
