Rahul Gandhi In Kerala As Congress Firefights Fresh Punjab Crisis
NDTV
Questions have been raised over the timing of Mr Gandhi's visit, particularly since both Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were also away from Delhi when Mr Sidhu dropped his bombshell
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi flew into Kerala this morning, even as his party battles a fresh leadership crisis in poll-bound Punjab, where Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned yesterday as chief of the state unit.
Mr Gandhi - a Lok Sabha MP from the southern state - is on a pre-scheduled one-day visit to Kozhikode and Malappuram, during which he will interact with constituents and inaugurate projects.
Source said he is scheduled to return to the national capital Thursday morning.
Mr Gandhi's Kerala visit comes amid a (continuing) leadership crisis in Punjab - one of the few states the party still holds and one of seven that will vote for a new government next year.
