There will be intense competition in Kerala’s Wayanad between incumbent Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, Communist Party of India’s Annie Raja, and BJP president K Surendran in this phase.

As part of their campaign to stage an upset, parties in the opposition INDIA bloc promise MSP for farmers, cash handouts for women, and more reservations for backward sections and minorities.
