On June 8, 2019, Congress President Rahul Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi won the Lok Sabha elections by telling lies. "Modi won the election by telling lies and spreading hatred. But we will deal with him with truth, love, and affection," Gandhi said while addressing a rally here in his parliamentary constituency of Wayanad, which he won with the highest ever margin recorded in Kerala.

He began his constituency tour by visiting the Wayanad Lok Sabha member's office at the Collectorate office where he spoke to several people.
