Thousands of people, including UDF leaders and workers, turned up on Tuesday (April 11) at Kalpetta in the border district of Kerala to welcome Rahul Gandhi, who arrived in his former Lok Sabha constituency along with his sister Priyanka Gandhi after his disqualification as an MP.

Hundreds of UDF workers lined up at Kalpetta for the roadshow called 'Satyameva Jayate' holding the Indian flag. Several people across all age groups gathered on the roadside to welcome Gandhi as he travelled to the public meeting venue on a truck accompanied by his sister and senior party leaders from Kerala.

The Gandhis arrived in Wayanad on a helicopter and then travelled to the venue 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.
