Thousands of people, including UDF leaders and workers, turned up at Kalpetta to welcome Rahul.

Accompanied by his sister, Priyanka Gandhi, Rahul held a roadshow from Kalpetta to Civil Station. Rahul Gandhi further said that he was always ready to bring Wayanad’s issues to the attention of the nation and world. CPI national leader and Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate Annie Raj also submitted her nomination papers in the same constituency. The CPI is a partner of the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Democratic Front in Kerala. While the CPI and the Congress are partners in the opposition INDIA bloc, the two parties are fierce contenders in Kerala, with both parties pitting their strongest candidates against each other.

The BJP, which is leaving no stone unturned to establish its complete dominance in the 2024 elections, has fielded Kerala State President K Surendran as a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate from the constituency. Kerala, one of the few states where the Congress still has a strong presence, sends 20 parliamentarians to the Lok Sabha. Voting for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in the south Indian state across all 20 seats is scheduled for April 26, while the counting of votes will take place on June 4. (ANI)
