Wayanad (Kerala): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who won by huge margins from the Wayand and Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seats in the recently concluded Lok Sabha general elections 2024, said he is faced with a dilemma on which constituency he should retain.
The former Congress president said both constituencies will be "happy" with whatever decision he makes,. He was speaking at a public meeting to thank the electorate who voted for him. He expressed his gratitude to the Wayanad residents for electing him for a second straight term in the general election. "I look forward to seeing you soon," he told them.
This is Rahul's first appearance in the state after he won the Lok Sabha seat, with a huge margin.
"I have a dilemma before me, whether I should be the MP of Wayanad or of Rae Bareli. What I will commit to you is that both Wayand and Rae Bareli will be happy with my decision," he said referring to the decision that he will have to make on relinquishing one of the two seats he had won. This is a Constitutional mandate that he will get to retain one of these seats within two weeks from the date of results.
If the winner fails to vacate any of the two seats, there is a provision for disqualification from both the seats.
