After filing his nomination papers, Rahul, Priyanka and leaders from Congress-led UDF undertook a road show where thousands of party workers gathered in Kalpetta and its suburbs to catch a glimpse of him. Priyanka tweeted that her brother was the ‘most courageous man’ and asked Wayanad to ‘take care of him’ because ‘he will not let them down’. PTI

Rahul said he was fighting the polls from down south to send a message that India was one. “South, north, east, west, centre… all are one… There is an assault taking place across the country by the RSS and BJP. I just want to send a message and I will stand from south India and north India. My aim was to give a message,” he said. PTI

Rahul also said he wouldn’t say a word against the state’s CPM-led LDF government during his campaign and that he would ‘absorb all its criticisms with happiness’. The Left is miffed with Gandhi’s candidature from Wayanad. PTI

He also said there were two main issues before the country — lack of jobs and agrarian crisis. “Farmers are unaware of what the future holds for them. Youngsters are running from state to state searching for jobs and (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi has failed on both the fronts,” he said while attacking the prime minister. PTI
