Not bothered about Rahul's fate: CPI Wayanad candidate Annie Raja

Even as the Opposition parties vow to fight against BJP in the Lok Sabha elections, the infighting between the members of the INDIA bloc continues.

Communist Party of India leader Annie Raja on April 3 filed her nomination from Wayanad constituency. She will be up against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who also filed his nomination from the constituency on the same day.

Just like Rahul, Raja held a roadshow ahead of filing her nomination. She said she is not bothered about the fate of Rahul Gandhi.

“I as a Left Front candidate am contesting here to win. I am not bothered about what will be his majority or his fate. We are here, we are reaching out to people. We are telling them, what is our politics, our position on all national issues, the question of fascism, Sangh parivar…Our confidence is with the people and their response. We are confident, we are here to contest and win…,” the CPI candidate said.

Rahul, accompanied by his sister Priyanka Gandhi and other senior party leaders including AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, submitted his nomination papers to the Wayanad District Collector who is also the Returning Officer.
