Rahul Gandhi Begins Visit To Wayanad
Congress president Rahul Gandhi will begin his three-day visit to his constituency of Wayanad in Kerala on Friday. This is his first trip to the hill town since he won the national election from there and his party's disastrous performance in most parts of the country. Mr Gandhi lost the other seat he contested, Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. "I will be in Wayanad, Kerala starting this afternoon and till Sunday to meet citizens & Congress Party workers. It's a packed schedule with over 15 public receptions planned over the next 3 days," Mr Gandhi tweeted this morning. With the overall poor performance of the party in other states, Rahul Gandhi's visit to Kerala will be a bit of rare celebration for the Congress party chief. Out of the Lok Sabha seats in Kerala, the Congress won 19. The visit is spread over three districts in northern Kerala, parts of which form the parliamentary constituency of Wayanad. Over the weekend, he will visit make several quick stops in Malappuram, followed by Wayanad and Kozhikode districts. Soon after the results were declared last month, Rahul Gandhi had expressed his gratitude to the people of Wayanad for electing him.
