Rahul Gandhi hints he may fight from two Lok Sabha seats

NEW DELHI: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi indicated he is open to contesting a second seat, possibly Wayanad in Kerala , and said a decision is to be taken soon. He said there is nothing unusual about contesting two seats and cited PM Narendra Modi running from Varanasi and Vadodara in 2014.


Though there have been reports of Rahul contesting from

Wayanad

, this is the first time he has confirmed the possibility. "

Amethi

is my 'karmabhoomi' and shall always remain so. I am deeply grateful for the love, affection and the sentiments expressed by our party workers in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala who have asked me to contest a second seat from their states," he said in an interview to PTI.

He also responded to sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's recent comment that she would be willing to contest if the party wants her to, saying the issue has been left to her.
