Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday spoke about the suspense on which of the two constituencies, Wayanad and Raebareli, he is  going to retain after winning the Lok Sabha polls from both the seats. Addressing a public meeting in Kerala's Wayanad, the Congress MP said his dilemma is whether he should be the MP of Wayanad or Raebareli. 

However, he did not lift off the curtain over his final decision and he said that "both Wayanad and Rae Bareli will be happy with my decision." 

He also took the dias to launch attack on Prime Minister Narendra and the Bharatiya Janata Party which is back in the Centre for a consecutive third term. He also took a dig at the saffron party over losing Faizabad Lok Sabha seat which hosts Ayodhya Ram Mandir, the inauguration of which was pushed aggresively by the BJP in its Lok Sabha campaign. 

The Congress leader took a swipe at Narendra Modi who won the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat with a margin of over 1 lakh votes. 

"The truth is the Prime Minister barely escaped in Varanasi and he would have been defeated himself in Varanasi. The BJP was defeated in Ayodhya. The people of Ayodhya have given a message that we do appreciate hatred and violence...," he said. 

"Hatred has been defeated by love and affection, arrogance by humility," he added. 

"...Before the elections, you saw the BJP leaders saying that they would tear up the Constitution. After elections, you saw the Prime Minister doing this (touches the Constitution to his forehead) to the Constitution," said the Congress MP. 

Rahul Gandhi had contested the Lok Sabha polls from Kerala's Wayanad and Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli seats and won both of them. In Wayanad, he defeated BJP's Kerala unit chief K Surendran, who finished third, with a margin of over 5 lakh votes. In Raebareli, he defeated BJP's Dinesh Pratap Singh by more than 3 lakh votes.
