Alappuzha: BJP is making moves to field Smriti Irani in Wayanad against Rahul Gandhi to bring a strong fight in the polls. For this, the BJP will take over the Wayanad seat removing NDA candidate of Wayanad. Currently, Wayanad seat was given to BDJS. If Smiriti Irani has any inconvenience, any of the BJP state leaders will contest here.

A senior BJP leader hinted that Smriti would contest in the seat by all chance. To bring the idea that Rahul chose another constituency apart from Amethi due to fear of failure, BJP is pushing it hard to bring the same opponent of Amethi to Wayanad.

An agreement has been reached to exchange seat with BDJS. In Wayanad, BDJS had decided to field Anto Augustine for the LS polls.
