Rampur (UP) | Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi is all set to file his nomination papers from the Wayanad constituency in Lok Sabha today.
Rahul Gandhi will be accompanied by his sister and party’s general secretary Priyanka Gandhi.
The duo got an overwhelming reception at the Kozhikode international airport on Wednesday night.
“The Congress chief will embark on a two-hour road show before filing the nomination papers at 11 am,” state opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala said.
Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi will campaign after filing the nomination papers for a couple of days.
Congress’s selection of Wayanad is seen as an important strategic move, as it helps the party consolidate its position in southern India.
In Wayanad, Gandhi is taking on Communist Party of India’s (CPI’s) PP Suneer and National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA’s) Thushar Vellapally.
There are speculations that Union Minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani will campaign for Vellapally in Wayanad.
