KOZHIKODE: One party in Delhi played some internal drama to prevent Congress chief Rahul Gandhi from contesting in Wayanad, said KPCC chief Mullapally Ramachandran. More details on it will be revealed in the coming days and some are scared of his entry, he said.

Mullappally said the chief minister and CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan have a blind hatred towards the congress. A decision will be taken soon on the candidate in Wayanad and the delay will in no way affect the chances of victory, he said. Meantime, he said that he is not aware of the statement of Oommen Chandy on the candidature of Rahul.

There were speculations that Rahul would contest from Wayanad. Senior leaders like Chandy and others told reporters that Rahul would contest from Wayanad. T Siddique who was fielded in Wayanad withdrew soon after the speculation.
