After a massive controversy in 2019, Muslim League flags were missing from Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Wayanad. Now, both the CPI(M) and the BJP raised the issue of the missing IUML flags to target the Congress.
Flag politics, which had gripped the nation during the 2019 Lok Sabha election, has returned in Wayanad.
The Congress is being attacked by both, the left and the right for the absence of Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) flags at Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Wayanad on Wednesday.

The IUML is one of the major partners in the Congress-led UDF in Kerala.
The flags of the Congress and its associate, the Indian Union of Maharashtra, were absent from Rahul Gandhi’s roadshow in Wayanad after his nomination. The Congress flags were as well.

The Congress found itself in a situation where it was unable to fly the IUML flag in light of the events of 2019. Congress flags were missing from the roadshow as well because their absence would be noticeable.
Rather, the Wednesday roadshow in the hill district was dominated by balloons of the same colors, the Tricolour, and a few Indian national flags.
LEFT SAYS, CONGRESS LACKS COURAGE Criticised the Congress over missing Muslim League flags at Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Wayanad, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said it “lacked the courage” to publicly display the party’s flag.
“The Congress has fallen to a level where it is afraid of communal forces,” Vijayan claimed at a press conference. Congress’s stand on the flag issue shows that it wants the votes of the IUML but would not acknowledge their flag, according to Kerala CM Vijayan.
