Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held a roadshow in Wayanad accompanied by his sister Priyanka during his first visit to his former constituency after being disqualified as a Lok Sabha MP.
Gandhi arrived on a helicopter and then travelled to the venue of a public meeting on a truck which had to inch along in view of the thousands, carrying placards of his photograph, who had turned up to show their support for him.
A large number of people were also gathered at the venue of the public meeting to hear him speak.
Gandhi was disqualified as the MP from Wayanad last month after being convicted and sentenced in a criminal defamation case.
He and his sister participated in a roadshow called 'Satyameva Jayate' in Kalpetta where only the national flag was used instead of the party flags
