“I will help her (Priyanka Gandhi) to make Wayanad the best tourism destination in the world,” – Rahul Gandhi

On the final day of the by-election campaign for the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat on Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi joined his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and pledged to make Wayanad a world-class travel destination. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the general secretary of the Congress, is the UDF candidate running in the by-election.

“As a challenge, I will help her (Priyanka Gandhi) to make Wayanad the best tourism destination in the world,” Rahul said, while addressing a gathering followed by a roadshow along with Priyanka from the Assumption Junction to Chungam Junction in Sultan Bathery here.

The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said the people of Wayanad taught him that the word love has a great place in politics. “I did not use that word, but the people of Wayanad taught me that the word has a great place in politics,” he added.

The head of Congress added that the only ways to fight rage and hatred are with love and affection. In Sultan Bathery, a sizable crowd gathered on both sides of the road between Assumption Junction and Chungam Junction. Rahul Gandhi resigned the seat after winning Raebareli in the most recent parliamentary elections, forcing the Wayanad by-election, which is set for November 13.
