LS polls: Rahul is fighting against the Left and not BJP, says Prakash Karat

Mar 31, 2019

New Delhi, Mar 31 (ANI): Speaking about Congress president Rahul Gandhi contesting from Wayanad, CPI(M) ex- General Secretary Prakash Karat on Sunday said, “Decision of Congress to field Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad shows their priority now is to fight against Left in Kerala. It goes against Congress' national commitment to fight BJP, as in Kerala it's LDF which is the main force fighting BJP there and to pick a candidate like Rahul Gandhi against Left means that Congress is going to target the Left in Kerala. This is something which we will strongly oppose and in this election we will work to ensure the defeat of Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad.”
