Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhiwas on Monday served a show-cause notice by the Ethics committee of Parliament asking whether he had declared himself as a British citizen during his stay in the United Kingdom.
“A showcause notice has been issued seeking his (Rahul’s) response on why he declared himself British citizen in documents related to a UK company,” Parliament’s ethics committee member Arjun Ram Meghwal told ANI.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament House, Rahul was brief in his reaction: “We’ll deal with that.”
In January, BJP’s Delhi MP Maheish Girri wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan asking tha the Ethics Committee of Parliament investigate the matter on priority and without prejudice because “no person is above Constitution”.
Girri had complained to Mahajan against Rahul’s alleged “dual citizenship”.
“Many contradictory facts against Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi have come up. There is a big mystery over his citizenship now. If he is a citizen of two countries, then it’s a matter of serious concern,” Girri had said in a statement issued, adding that it was “very important to clear the speculations hovering” over him.
Accusing Rahul of declaring himself a British citizen to float a firm in the UK, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding that the Congress MP be stripped of his Indian citizenship as well as his parliamentary membership. The Congress has dismissed Swamy’s charge.
The ethics committee is headed by veteran BJP leader LK Advani.

Surendran thinks he will win that seat and not ready to contest elsewhere ,he got 46k votes from that constituency in 2014 ls poll so its not a completely lost cause ...
Locals and Tulus like Balakrishna shetty or Sreekanth would have been a better choice for BJP,After all Manjeshwaram is a Tulu majority area..Surendran is not local and a Malayali.This move will surely irritate the local population.Already many agitations are ongoing against Kerala government's decision to make Malayalam mandatory in government jobs and schools in and around kasargod and manjeshwaram..
Its almost impossible for a person like kummanam to beat a big gun like Muraleedaran in vattiyoorkaavu...Trivandrum central/Aranmula would have been a better choice...

Vatttiyoorkkavu was a wrong choice for sure, Trivandrum central consists of Sreekariyam ?

His opposing candidates are also malayalees ,So no chance of others getting benefit from this language polarization...State committee preferred him Kozhikode but he was not ready to make any adjustments
