Expressing his gratitude to the people of Wayanad, Rahul said, "It has been an honour for me to be your member of Parliament. I don't treat you and think of you like an electorate. I treat you and think of you the same way I think of my little sister Priyanka. So in the houses of Wayanad, I have sisters, mothers, fathers and brothers. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that."

Though alliance partners, CPI and Congress are fierce opponents in Kerala. The CPI has nominated Annie Raja against him, while the BJP has put forward its state unit chief, K Surendran, for the seat.

Annie Raja also filed her nomination in Wayanad on Wednesday.
