Rahul has won hearts

Befitting to a great leader, Rahul chose to contest from Wayanad apart from Amethi this general election. Like a colossus, Rahul strides across the North (Amethi) and the South ( Wayanad) making him the true Indian leader.

In Wayanad, people gave him a rousing welcome which was so touching that it made Rahul comment, " I am overwhelmed by the love and affection of the people of Wayanad in Kerala." Equally emotional was his sister's response, " My brother, my truest friend, and by far the most courageous man I know. Take care of him Wayanad, he won't let you down."

Yes, the first day itself Rahul could win the hearts of thousands of people who had assembled in Wayanad, and in due course of time, it is expected that the whole constituency would be transformed to give him an unprecedented and incredible victory.

Because, people know for sure that he would be the future Prime Minister of India. But the irony is that the Left is neither amused by Rahul's move nor is it able to see the writing on the wall.

Like a duck takes to water, the CPM has started lambasting the Congress and its president, which would give only advantages to the BJP. So, the Left has to stop spreading anti-Congress

propaganda if it really wishes to prevent the BJP from coming back to power for the second consecutive time.

A concerted effort of the likeminded parties can defeat the BJP. It is expected the Left would extend its political support at least to Rahul Gandhi towards his great victory from Wayanad.
