Amethi apart, here is why Wayanad as Plan B will boomerang for Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi has filed his nomination from Wayanad as Plan B after announcing his candidacy from Amethi. While in 2009, Rahul Gandhi had a vote share of 71.78%, it dropped to 46.71% in 2014. Irani fielded at the last moment made Rahul Gandhi lose 25.07% vote share. Now in 2019, Rahul opting Wayanad as Plan B is seen as an acceptance of defeat before the clash starts. In Wayanad, in 2009, late Congress MP MI Shanavas won by a margin of over 1 lakh votes. However, 2014 wasn't as much of a cakewalk with the low margin close to just 20,000. After having scooted to Wayanad from Amethi, the way ahead is still not going to be easy for Rahul Gandhi.
