Gandhis make pitch for Wayanad bypoll as canvassing ends
Hindustan Times|November 12, 2024
On the final day of campaigning, Congress lawmaker Rahul Gandhi on Monday joined his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the UDF candidate for Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll, in a road show and promised to elevate the hill district of Kerala to among the world's premier tourist destinations.

This was the second time Gandhi, the leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, canvassed for his sister, who is making her electoral debut in the Lok Sabha bypoll from Wayanad constituency vacated by the former.

"As a challenge, I will help her (Priyanka Gandhi) in any way possible. And the challenge is to make the name of Wayanad known as the best tourism destination in the world," Gandhi, who held a road-show with his sister in Sultan Bathery, said.

Campaigning also ended for November 13 assembly bypolls in various states.
