I’m glad they took him home. He said that I have seen that when there is flood in Wayanad, many people lose their houses. I have learned from you guys. Take away my house 100 times, I don’t care. I will keep raising the issues of the people of Wayanad and India.

Don’t think that my relationship with you guys is going to change. Rahul Gandhi said, ‘What have I done? I raised the issue of Gautam Adani in Parliament.
