Thiruvananthapuram: No government in Kerala has retained power so far but the current Pinarayi Vijayan-led LDF government is now aiming to change that after an impressive performance in the local body polls. The Congress-led opposition is determined to fight it out and has drafted in Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as their star campaigners for the Assembly polls to be held in April-May.

A top Congress leader anonymously said  "Both the top leaders have principally agreed to campaign extensively in Kerala and the first step for that would be the arrival of Rahul in the state capital, later this month to coincide with the conclusion of the present state-wide yatra led by Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala. Rahul is expected to make a few important announcements,"

Rahul, who is a Lok Sabha member from the Wayanad constituency, continues to draw huge crowds whenever he visits his constituency, even with Covid protocols in place. Former Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh also expected to arrive for a brief election campaign in Kerala.

"Though Sonia Gandhi, the interim Congress president, is unlikely to campaign in the state, Priyanka is expected to arrive in the state as part of the election campaign and would be traveling across the state. Definitely, there will be a lot of interest generated by the visit of the duo," added the leader
