Rahul to take up issues of fishermen on his Kerala visit

New Delhi: As part of his ongoing public outreach, Rahul Gandhi will take up the problems of fishing communities and rubber growers in Kerala on Wednesday. After holding interactions with farmers, middle class flat buyers and ex-servicemen, Rahul will interact with fishermen at Chavakkad beach, a small coastal town in Thrissur district. The same day he will be meeting representatives of rubber grower organisations in Aluva in Ernakulam district, a press release issued by the Congress Vice President's Office said. Rahul begins his Kerala visit from tomorrow when he will address a Pradesh Youth Congress rally in Kozhikode at a time when the Congress led UDF government in the state is hit by controversies and internal dissension. Assembly polls are due in the state next year. Rahul is meeting various stakeholders ever since the end of his nearly two-month-long sabbatical and his arrival to the national capital on 16 April. After running a campaign in and outside Parliament against the Narendra Modi government on the land bill issue, he began his Kisan Yatra from Vidarbha on April 30 and carried on his interactions with farmers in Telangana last fortnight. He also met a delegation of middle class flat buyers from the countrywide and the NCR region in particular on 2 May.   PTI
