During his recent campaign tour in Wayanad, AICC leader Rahul Gandhi engaged with locals, even travelling in an auto rickshaw while discussing the benefits of voting for Congress. Seeking re-election from Wayanad, Gandhi has taken on CPI's Annie Raja, while criticizing PM Modi and CM Pinarayi Vijayan. The trust between Congress and Left appears strained, with Gandhi questioning the ED's inaction against Vijayan. Despite facing criticism, Gandhi remains popular among local Muslims. However, some are skeptical about his ability to maintain his lead, especially with his changed role since 2019.
