Rahul Gandhi Returns to Wayanad After Reinstatement as Lok Sabha MP
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has left for his parliamentary constituency in Wayanad, Kerala, for the first time since being reinstated as a member of the Lok Sabha. The Lok Sabha Secretariat restored Gandhi’s membership following a Supreme Court decision to stay his conviction in the ‘Modi surname remark’ case. Gandhi’s return to Wayanad has prompted preparations for a warm reception, as he is expected to attend various meetings and engagements in the area.
Gandhi was disqualified from the lower house on March 24 due to his conviction and a two-year jail term for his remarks concerning the ‘Modi surname’. However, the decision to vacate his Tughlaq Lane bungalow in Delhi came after an interim order was given, allowing Gandhi to appeal his conviction in the defamation case. Since then, he has been staying at former Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s residence at 10 Janpath Road.
In light of his reinstatement, Gandhi has been re-allotted the 12, Tughlaq Lane bungalow. The estate office has confirmed the allotment, providing him with official accommodation as an MP in Delhi. With his return to Wayanad, Gandhi is expected to receive an unprecedented warm welcome from the people of the district.
The news of Gandhi’s comeback has generated enthusiasm among his supporters in Wayanad. In preparation for his arrival, the local Congress committee has organized a district committee meeting, which Gandhi is scheduled to attend on August 12 and 13.
It is worth noting that Rahul Gandhi’s return to active politics comes at a crucial time for the Congress party. With upcoming state elections and the need to strengthen their presence in Kerala, the party sees his reentry to Wayanad as an opportunity to regain momentum and connect with the electorate.
As Gandhi resumes his role as the Member of Parliament for Wayanad, it is anticipated that he will focus on addressing key issues affecting the constituency, including agrarian distress, environmental concerns, and rural development. His visit is seen as integral to galvanizing party workers and rejuvenating their efforts in the region.
Overall, Rahul Gandhi’s return to Wayanad as a Lok Sabha MP has stirred excitement among his supporters and party members alike. With the upcoming state elections and the Congress party’s renewed focus on Kerala, his presence in the constituency is a strong statement of commitment and determination. As he dives back into active politics, all eyes will be on Gandhi and his endeavors in Wayanad.
