Despite the uncertainty, Gandhi assured that whatever choice he makes, it will be met with approval from both constituencies. Expressing gratitude to the voters of Wayanad for electing him to a second term in the Lok Sabha, he stated, "I look forward to seeing you soon."

"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," the Congress leader said while speaking at a public meeting here.

It is his first appearance in the state after winning the Wayanad LS seat by a huge margin for the second consecutive time. Gandhi took a swipe at Narendra Modi, remarking that unlike the Prime Minister, he does not claim to receive divine directives on what actions to take. In a satirical jab at Modi, the Congress leader quipped that while the Prime Minister supposedly receives divine guidance to hand over the nation's significant airports and power plants to Adani.

"But, I am a human being. My God are the poor people of the country. So, for me it is easy. I just talk to the people and they tell me what to do," Gandhi said.
