FOUND: Brinda takes exception to rahul contesting from wayanad | Mind Blowing Facts

Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] Polit Bureau member Brinda Karat on Tuesday came down on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for contesting Lok Sabha elections in Wayanad.

Speaking after a road show of Annie Raja, Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate in the constituency, titled ‘Janasagaram’ here, Ms. Karat asked why Mr. Gandhi was contesting against the LDF, which ‘prevented the entry of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kerala into power.’  

“If the Congress was trying to defeat the BJP at the Centre, should he contest against the Left Front?” Ms. Karat asked. The Congress was keeping mum on the enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in its election manifesto, she said.
