In a fervent roadshow across the constituency of Wayanad, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a candidate in the upcoming Lok Sabha by-election, leveled accusations against the ruling BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She alleged that a concerted campaign has been executed to tarnish the image of her brother, Rahul Gandhi, the Opposition leader in Lok Sabha. According to her, only the people of Wayanad understood that Rahul fights for truth and justice.
Addressing the rally, Priyanka Gandhi expressed immense gratitude to the Wayanad voters for their unwavering support to Rahul Gandhi, emphasizing, "Five years ago, when my brother stood for election here, despite a vicious campaign filled with lies orchestrated by the BJP and extensive resources poured into it, you recognized his fight for truth."

Criticizing the central government further, Priyanka accused PM Modi's administration of prioritizing business elites over the populace's welfare, driven by divisive tactics and the erosion of democratic processes.
