Rahul Gandhi wrote an emotional letter for Wayanad.
New Delhi: Ahead of taking oath as MP from Rae Bareli, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday wrote an emotional letter to the people of Wayanad, thanking them for their support. In the letter, the former Congress president said that he is sad, but he is also satisfied that his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will represent the people of Wayanad in Parliament. “When I was standing in front of the media and telling you about my decision, you must have seen the sadness in my eyes. So why am I sad? I met you five years ago. When I first came to meet you, I came to seek your support. I was a stranger to you and yet you believed in me,” Gandhi wrote in the letter.
Hugs with infinite love and affection
He wrote, “You embraced me with infinite love and affection. It did not matter which political party you supported, it did not matter which community you belonged to or which religion you believed in or which language you spoke.” Gandhi wrote in the letter, “When I was facing abuse day after day, your unconditional love protected me. You were my refuge, my home and my family. I never felt for a moment that you doubted me.” Former Congress president Gandhi was elected to the Lok Sabha from Wayanad in Kerala in 2019 after losing the electoral contest from his family stronghold Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.
Remembered the Kerala floods
Recalling the floods in Kerala, the Congress leader said, “I will never forget what I saw during the floods. One after another families lost everything. Lives, property, friends, everything was gone and yet none of you, even a small child, lost your dignity.” He said, “I will always remember the countless flowers and hugs you gave me. Each flower was given with such genuine love and tenderness.” Gandhi said that it is a matter of happiness and honour for him to be the voice of the people of Wayanad in Parliament. He said, “It is indeed a matter of happiness and honour to be your voice in Parliament. I am sad, but I am also comforted because my sister Priyanka will be there to represent you. I am confident that if you give her a chance, she will do a great job as your MP.”
Priyanka Gandhi will be the candidate from Wayanad
Priyanka Gandhi has been fielded by the Congress from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat vacated by her brother. Rahul Gandhi said, “I am also satisfied because I have a loving family in the people of Rae Bareli and I have a relationship with them that I cherish very much. My main commitment to you and the people of Rae Bareli is that we will fight and defeat the hatred and violence that is being spread in the country.” He said, “You are part of my family for the love and protection you gave me when I needed it the most and I will always be there for all of you.”
