Rahul Gandhi is contesting for the forst time on a second ticket. He today filed documents to contest the national election from Kerela's Wayanand.
He landed there by a helicopter this morning along with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and headed to the dstrict collectorate office in Kalpetta.
A massive crowd of congress workers and supporters carrying party flags greeted the brother - sister duo as they stood on a truck and waved at the crowd during their roadshow to mark the beginning of their Wayanand campaign.
Heavy security was in place in and around the collectorate ahead of the high-profile visit of the Congress chief.
On Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi explained that he was fighting from Wayanad because: "South India feels hostility from Narendra Modi; I wanted to send message that I am standing with you."
He was responding to PM Modi saying at a public rally in Maharashtra that the Congress was "afraid" because it had insulted Hindus by using the term "Hindu terror" and knew it would be punished by the community. He implied that was the reason why Rahul Gandhi had decided to contest in Wayanad, where "the majority is in a minority"
Wayanad will vote on April 23 and Amethi on May 6. The counting of votes in the staggered national election will be held on May 23.
