In Wayanad, Kerala, posters targeting senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have emerged amid speculation about KC Venugopal's potential appointment as the next Chief Minister. The posters, positioned near the Wayanad District Congress Committee office, threaten that 'Wayanad will be the next Amethi' if the Congress high command supports Venugopal. They also directly criticize the Gandhi siblings for their perceived poor decisions and warn them to 'forget Wayanad.' This unrest comes on the heels of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) securing a significant victory in the recent elections, winning 102 out of 140 Assembly seats, which has led to internal power struggles among party leaders. Key contenders for the Chief Minister position include Venugopal, VD Satheesan, and Ramesh Chennithala. Rahul Gandhi has been meeting with former Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee presidents to discuss the situation, with an announcement expected soon, possibly by Wednesday noon. The party leadership is under pressure to consider the sentiments of the electorate as they finalize their decision.
