Annie Raja CPI Kerala
The Communist Party of India (CPI) on Monday announced Annie Raja as its candidate for the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, currently held by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. Annie, who will contest her first ever election this year, is a member of the CPI’s national executive and the wife of party general secretary D Raja. She is also the general secretary of the National Federation of Indian Women and has been involved in politics since her school days.
Though the CPI is a member of the Opposition INDIA bloc with the Congress, which had won the Wayanad seat with a record margin of 4.3 lakh votes in the 2019 elections, the Left party has publicly asked Rahul to contest the upcoming polls from another seat.
What does Rahul or Congress gain in contesting from Kerala… I think good sense will prevail: CPI Wayanad nominee.

Annie Raja said … our fight is to win the seat and defeat the RSS-BJP,.
