Giving emphasis to regional issues, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will interact with those agitating against the Vizhinjam international seaport and the SilverLine semi-high-speed rail projects during his Bharat Jodo Yatra in the State.
On Monday, the Congress scion will visit the representatives of the Latin Archdiocese of Thiruvananthapuram which has been spearheading the Vizhinjam protest. While engineer-environmental activist Sridhar Radhakrishnan, a vocal critic of the K-Rail project, walked with Mr. Gandhi for nearly a kilometre during his rally on Sunday, the Congress leader is expected to have a detailed discussion with the leaders of the campaign against the State government project at a later stage.
The movements are likely to take centre stage in the State’s political discourse again with Mr. Gandhi set to weigh in on the issues that could push the State government on the defensive.
