Wayanad: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, and his sister Priyanka Gandhi will visit this border area of Kerala on Tuesday to take part in various activities sponsored by the UDF as a show of strength after Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from serving as an MP.

The two Congress leaders would first participate in a roadshow called 'Satyameva Jayate' in Kalpetta here in the afternoon.
In the roadshow, only the National Flag will be used instead of the party flags, the Congress said.
Thereafter, there will be another event -- Cultural Democratic Defense -- which has been organized as part of the conference and leading cultural activists of Kerala are expected to take part in it, the party said.
The two Congress leaders would also be speaking at a public event here in the afternoon.
