NEW DELHI: The BJP is saying that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is preparing to contest in Amethi in addition to Wayanad. The BJP raised the issue just hours ahead of the polling in Kerala. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya released the evidence for this. Amit Malviya made the revelation on X by sharing a video of Amethi Youth Congress president.

The video shows the Amethi Youth Congress president claiming that Rahul Gandhi is ready for the election campaign and will reach Amethi on May 2 and submit the nomination papers. Amit Malviya wrote on X that Wayanad is only Rahul's plan B and Rahul will abandon the people of Wayanad if he wins in Amethi. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also said that Rahul would submit his nomination papers in Amethi after the voting in Kerala.

Meanwhile, some reports are claiming that Rahul Gandhi prefers to contest in Raebareli rather than Amethi. However, this may create a headache for the Congress leadership as Rahul's sister Priyanka is also reportedly eyeing Raebareli. There are also indications that Priyanka's husband Robert Vadra has expressed his interest in contesting in Amethi.
