Rahul Gandhi rides auto to campaign venue at Nemom
Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 4: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday took an autorickshaw ride at two places in Kerala, on the last day of campaign for the April 6 Assembly polls, to highlight the rising fuel prices under the BJP-NDA rule.
Gandhi, who addressed a campaign meeting at Nemom, here in the evening, took an autorickshaw to the venue, catching everyone by surprise.
K Muraleedharan, MP, is the Congress-led UDF candidate at Nemom, the lone seat won by the BJP in the 2016 assembly polls.
The constituency is witnessing a fierce triangular fight between the LDF, UDF and the BJP.
Addressing party workers at Nemom, Gandhi, who also took out a roadshow, said he came in an autorickshaw.
The driver of the vehicle said he was not able to make a livelihood as all his earnings go to pay for fuel.
"The BJP keeps raising the petrol and diesel prices and giving their money to their friends. How dare they come here and ask you for votes?", an angry Gandhi asked.
The Gandhi scion also took an auto ride on his way to the helipad at Kalpetta in his constituency Wayanad earlier in the day.

Karnataka HC stays ED notice to Siddaramaiah's wife, Minister in MUDA land allotment scam
Bengaluru, Jan 27 (PTI): The Karnataka High Court on Monday stayed the notice issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife Parvathi B M and the state Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh to appear for questioning in connection with the MUDA land allotment scam.
The ED has issued summons to Parvathi to appear before the investigation officer on Tuesday, while Suresh was asked to depose on Monday.
In the MUDA site allotment case, it is alleged that compensatory sites were allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru, which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been "acquired" by the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA).
MUDA had allotted plots to Parvathi under a 50:50 ratio scheme in lieu of 3.16 acres of her land, where it developed a residential layout.
Under the controversial scheme, MUDA allotted 50 per cent of developed land to the land losers in lieu of undeveloped land acquired from them for forming residential layouts.
It is alleged Parvathi had no legal title over this 3.16 acres of land at survey number 464 of Kasare village, Kasaba hobli of Mysuru taluk.
The Lokayukta as well as the ED are probing the matter simultaneously.
