Disqualification biggest gift that BJP gave me: Rahul Gandhi

Former Lok Sabha MP from Wayanad Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the biggest gift that the BJP has given him is disqualifying him. He said this while addressing a mammoth public meeting called at Kalpetta to honour him on his first visit to his constituency after his disqualification following a court verdict. “My disqualification means nothing as my relationship with Wayanad is going to be a lifelong relationship. This disqualification will only deepen my relationship with you all. The relation is similar to a family one as I am a brother. I assure you I will never go away from you,” said Gandhi to thunderous applause. He arrived at Kannur early in the day along with his sister Priyanka and later flew to Kalpetta in a helicopter. From the helipad to the meeting venue, thousands had gathered to have a glimpse of him as he was taken in an open vehicle. It took 30 minutes to cover a small distance. Gandhi said all that he had done was to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi about his relationship with Gautam Adani. “After that in Parliament we all saw for the first time the government itself trying to prevent the session from going forward smoothly. “This disqualification is the biggest gift the BJP has given me as I did not know if what I was doing was right. But after seeing the BJP attacking me all the time, I knew I was doing the right thing. I am not going to stop as I will continue to ask questions,” said Gandhi.
