Dr. Rajeev Menon, National General Secretary of the Republican Party, criticized Rahul Gandhi’s decision to abandon the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency as a betrayal to the people of Wayanad. He stated that Rahul Gandhi, who had previously claimed Wayanad as his family, is now claiming Raebareli as his family, and before that, it was Amethi. Dr. Rajeev Menon accused Rahul Gandhi of repeating his deceptive politics in Wayanad and said there is no one else in Indian politics as cowardly as him when it comes to deceiving people. He also mentioned that Gandhi’s sudden change is a setback for every voter who voted for him with the hope that he would become an MP from Wayanad.
Dr. Rajeev Menon openly stated that after the elections in Wayanad, Congress strategically announced Rahul’s candidacy in Raebareli. Although there were rumors that Rahul would contest from two places, the party kept it hidden fearing vote loss. The people of Wayanad oppose Rahul Gandhi abandoning the constituency, seeing him beyond a national leader as one of their own, which is reflected in this election’s lead as well. Dr. Rajeev Menon criticized Rahul Gandhi for not giving any prior notice to the loyal voters of Wayanad and called it a severe betrayal by the Gandhi family to the families in Wayanad. Now they are trying to fool people again by promoting Priyanka. Dr. Rajeev Menon criticized Rahul Gandhi’s withdrawal from Wayanad as an action unfit for political morality and called it a political injustice.
