Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi is heading to his constituency in Kerala in the wake of escalating public protests over back-to-back deaths of residents in wild elephant attacks.
Kerala’s Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan’s office informed that Mr. Gandhi, currently touring Uttar Pradesh as part of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, will likely reach Kozhikode late on February 17 (Saturday).
Mr. Satheesan and Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran, who are presently heading the party’s Statewide Samaragni campaign tour in Palakkad, are expected to reach Kozhikode to receive Mr. Gandhi at the airport.
