Hyderabad/IBNS: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has exuded confidence in Congress leader Rahul Gandhi becoming the next Prime Minister of the country.

He has predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will struggle for traction among South Indian voters, and win fewer than 15 of the region's 130 Lok Sabha seats.

Revanth Reddy reminded the voters of Wayanad, from where Rahul Gandhi is seeking reelection as an MP, that they are electing the PM and not just electing an MP.

He said once Rahul Gandhi becomes the Prime Minister, the southern states, which have been neglected by the Narendra Modi government, will benefit a lot with huge fund allocations.

His campaign evoked a huge response with a massive crowd turning up to greet him and gathering on the sides of the roads and nearby buildings.

Reddy will campaign in a few more states in April and May.

Speaking to media persons at Wayanad, Revanth Reddy said, "Rahul Gandhi is going to be the Prime Minister of this country. For the last 10 years, the Prime Minister has been from Varanasi, and for the coming 20 years, the Prime Minister will be from Wayanad."

Meanwhile, in the run-up to the 2024 general election, the BJP has gone all-out to expand its presence in the southern states, with a particular focus on Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made over a dozen visits to those states over the past few weeks in a bid to drum up support.
