Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for associating himself with the 'divine powers' and slammed the 'unholy nexus between Adani and Modi while talking at a reception meeting organised at Edavanna in Malappuram here on Wednesday following his victory in Wayanad constituency.
"Narendra Modi is getting the help of the almighty in making the decisions. Unfortunately, I do not have this luxury and I am a normal human being. For me, the god is the people of India and the people of Wayanad. So I would ask my voters to sort out my dilemma about which constituency to relinquish. I promise both Wayanad and Raebereli will be happy with my decision,'' Gandhi said.
''Modi claimed that he was functioning as directed by the almighty however it's strange that he follows an almighty who directs to take decisions in favour of Adani and Ambani,'' added Gandhi. Amidst speculations over his choice of constituency (Raebareli or Wayanad), Gandhi said that he was in a dilemma and maintained an air of uncertainty about his final decision.
The United Democratic Front (UDF) is organising a reception for Gandhi, who won the Lok Sabha elections in Wayanad constituency with a margin of 3.6 lakh votes. In 2019, he secured the seat with a record margin of 4.3 lakh votes.
