Rahul Gandhi campaigns for Priyanka in Wayanad, says "confident you now have the best possible MP"

Wayanad (Kerala) [India], November 3 (ANI): Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi campaigned in Wayanad in support of party candidate and sister Priyanka Gandhi on Sunday ahead of the bypolls slated to be held on November 13.
Addressing an election rally in Wayanad, Rahul Gandhi said, "I am lucky to have her as a sister. Now, you are also lucky to have her as a sister. She is going to be like your sister, like your mother, like your daughter, " Rahul Gandhi said.
"I am confident that you now have the best possible MP that you could get," he added.
Speaking on occasion, Priyanka Gandhi slammed the Modi-led central government, saying it gives priority to big business interests over the well-being of the people.
She alleged that the Modi government aims to remain in power by dividing people, spreading hatred, and oppressing democratic institutions.
She also highlighted the support given by the people of Wayanad to Rahul Gandhi during his difficult phase.
"When my brother, Rahul Gandhi ji, was facing massive difficulties he was being attacked every day by the BJP. A huge campaign was launched against him to tarnish his reputation, it was you, my brothers and sisters, who recognized that this man is fighting for what is right, he is fighting for the truth and you stood by him, you supported him and gave him the courage to fight," she said.
Gandhis were accompanied by Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal as they arrived in Wayanad and was welcomed by Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee President K Sudhakaran, Congress MP K Suresh and Congress MLA T Siddique, among others, upon their arrival.
Wayanad, a Congress bastion, is going to see a contest between Congress's Priyanka Gandhi, BJP's Navya Haridas and the Left candidate Sathyan Mokeri in the upcoming bypolls.
The bypoll in the constituency was necessitated as Rahul Gandhi decided to vacate the seat and keep the Rae Barel seat following his win from both seats in the general elections held earlier this year.
Earlier, Priyanka Gandhi slammed the Modi-led central government, saying it gives priority to big business interests over the well-being of the people.
"Modi Ji's government works only for his big businessman friends. His objective is not to give you a better life. It is not to find new jobs. It is not to provide better health or education initiatives and programs. It is simply to stay in power by any means possible. And what are those means? Those means are dividing you, spreading anger, spreading hatred amongst you, taking your rights away from you, oppressing democratic institutions," Priyanka said. (ANI)
