The National Democratic Alliance candidate for Wayanad Lok Sabha polls, Navya Haridas, on Sunday said the Gandhi family is considering the hill constituency as a mere "choice" or "second" seat" and people of the segment have realised this now.
A two-time councillor in the Kozhikode Corporation, Haridas said what the voters of Wayanad want is a leader who stands up for them and resolves their problems.
Addressing reporters in Kozhikode, the young leader said, as far as India is concerned, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is not a new face, but for Wayanad, she is a newcomer.
"Priyanka is coming as a representative of the Gandhi family who had failed to raise the issues of Wayanad in the Parliament," she alleged.
A techie-turned politician, Haridas, further criticised the Congress party for giving seats to Gandhi family members.
She said people of Wayanad had given a mandate to Rahul Gandhi with the belief that he would be with them for the next five years.
But when he got a chance to keep Raebareli, the Gandhi scion had abandoned the Wayanad constituency. -- PTI
