‘He’s fed up with him’: Rahul Gandhi criticizes Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Wayanad | Latest Indian News

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who was in Kerala’s Wayanad on Sunday to campaign for his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, said he will not dwell on Prime Minister Narendra Modi because “we are fed up with him”.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is the Congress party candidate in Wayanad. The Kerala seat was vacated in June by Rahul Gandhi, who decided to retain the Rae Bareli Lok Sabha constituency.

Addressing the gathering, Rahul Gandhi noted that Priyanka Gandhi had already spoken about Prime Minister Modi.

“Anyway, she has already mentioned Mr. Modi and we are all tired of him… then why mention him twice,” Rahul Gandhi said during the meeting.

Priyanka Gandhi accused Prime Minister Modi of choosing big business over the well-being of the people of the country.

Rahul Gandhi said he will talk to the people of Wayanad the same way he talked to his family.

“At this meeting, I have a choice: either deliver a political message or make a speech in front of my family members. I would rather talk to you the same way I talk to my family. I would like to make a speech in more detail about the candidate herself,” said Rahul Gandhi.

“My sister has always been an active campaigner. She has never stood for election. That should tell you something about her character,” Gandhi added.

Sharing his childhood memories, Rahul Gandhi said that he will compete with his sister to see who can take better photographs with the camera that their father gifted them.

“I still don’t remember who won the competition… ok… she (Priyanka) is now saying that I won,” he added.

He said that Priyanka has moved away from the little girl who used to take photographs.

“She understands that the beauty is that everyone has millions and millions of labels, every person is unique, everything is unique – some will see weakness, she will see strength – that’s my sister,” the Leader of the Opposition said.

Rahul Gandhi also said that Priyanka can play more roles than him.

Last month, Rahul Gandhi said that Priyanka Gandhi took care of their mother Sonia Gandhi after the tragic death of their father Rajiv Gandhi. She was only 17 years old at the time, he added.

Polling in Wayanad will take place on November 13.
