KOCHI: The decision of congress chief Rahul Gandhi to contest from Wayanad is proof of the congress party’s fall, said BJP state chief P S Sreedharan Pillai. This is the largest fall of the congress movement in India. He sarcastically said the Congress president agreed to contest from Wayanad mainly depending on the Muslim League.

Hinting that the Congress president’s candidature from Wayanad was because the party was worried that he may lose from Amethi, Pillai said that the BJP would ensure a tough fight for Rahul Gandhi. The constituency has a strong influence for the BJP and so a strong race will be witnessed here. Rahul’s candidature was announced today by senior leader A K Antony. He said such a decision was taken following requests from the state.
