Wayanad: Congress president Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination papers for the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala today (Thursday).

Before filing his nomination papers, he and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra led a massive road show from the Government guest house here. Thousands of people from neighbouring states and districts came to cheer Rahul Gandhi.

Wayanad wore a festive look despite the harsh summer. 

Speaking to the media before he departed from Wayanad, he said he was contesting from Kerala to give a message that India is one. He also made it clear that he was not fighting the CPM. “I shall not utter a single word against the CPM,” he said categorically.

“It will get reflected in the voting,” he said.
