Rahul Gandhi will interacts with rural labourers, leaders of Communist Marxist Party (CMP) and representatives of anti K-Rail agitation committee.

While speaking at the conclusion of the foot march at Kazhakootam Monday evening, the Congress leader said: "You can win elections with hatred, violence and anger, but you cannot do anything for the country with that."

"That is what BJP has proven. You will not solve the problem of unemployment or that of high prices with anger. It cannot be done," Rahul added.

"The conversation in India has been sacrificed. The voice of the people of this country has been silenced. The institutions have been taken over and captured," he further said.
