Pinarayi Vijayan slams Rahul Gandhi for seeking re-election in Wayanad Lok Sabha seat

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for seeking re-election in Wayanad Lok Sabha seat, where he is pitted against Annie Raja of CPI, a party that is a part of the INDIA bloc.

Addressing a press conference, Vijayan said everybody was questioning Rahul Gandhi's decision to come to Kerala and not fight against the BJP-led Centre.

Lashing out at Rahul Gandhi, Vijayan said, "Rahul Gandhi is coming to Kerala and contesting against Annie Raja. She is a national leader of the CPI. She was called anti-national during the Manipur violence for strongly calling out the BJP government's wrongdoing. It was her fact-finding system that brought to light the cruelty of the Christian population. What was the role of Rahul Gandhi in that? Can he say anything on that?"
