In an action-packed political scene, the Election Commission's flying squad, alongside Kerala police, confiscated food kits adorned with images of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in Wayanad, intensifying scrutiny as bypolls loom on November 13.

Wayanad, known for its Congress loyalty, sets the stage for a triangular contest among Priyanka Gandhi, BJP's Navya Haridas, and Sathyan Mokeri from the Left. The by-election follows Rahul Gandhi's decision to vacate the seat in favor of retaining Rae Bareli after notable election victories earlier this year.

Addressing a rally, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra emphasized the need for leaders focused on public welfare and progress, condemning divisive tactics while urging voters to demand accountability. In contrast, Kumaraswamy, campaigning in Sogala village, criticized the Gandhis' focus on Wayanad, questioning their political strategies and motives.
