Wayanad, Apr 4 (IANS): Thousands gave a rousing welcome to Congress President Rahul Gandhi who filed his Lok Sabha nomination from Wayanad in Kerala on Thursday morning.

Arriving on a helicopter from Kozhikode, Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi drove to the Wayanad Collector's office some 500 meters away, all the time cheered by people packing both sides of the road.

Amid tight security, only a few persons were allowed to go in with them.

The Gandhis later boarded an open jeep for a road show in Wayanad, one of the economically backward regions of Kerala, accompanied by Congress General Secretary Oommen Chandy.

Police personnel found it tough to handle the surging crowds. The situation became more difficult whenever Rahul Gandhi shook hands with supporters.

Rahul Gandhi will be contesting from both Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, his traditional Lok Sabha constituency, as well as Wayanad.

Kerala goes to the polls on April 23 to elect 20 MPs.

At one time, there were heated exchanges between Congress leaders and Special Protection Group (SPG) officials after the latter insisted that the proposed road show might not happen due to security concerns.

But in the end the Congress leadership won the tussle.

The crowds were delirious.

"I have seen Indira Gandhi when she came to Kozhikode many years back. Now I am excited that I have seen her grandchildren. I am very happy," beamed a 78-year-old Muslim woman.

Another group of Congress activists shouted: "Rahul will win with a massive margin never seen in Kerala."

    ಸರ್ಜಿಕಲ್ ದಾಳಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಅಟ್ಟಹಾಸ ಮೆರೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನಕ್ಕೆ ನಡುಕ ಹುಟ್ಟಿಸಿದ ಮೋದಿ ಸರಕಾರ.
    ಈಗ ಮುಂಬೈ ಅಲ್ಲ ಪಾಕಿಗೆ ಗಡಿ ದಾಟಿ ಬರಲು ತಾಕತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ!

    ಯೋಚಿಸಿ ಬೆಂಬಲಿಸಿ ಸೋತರೆ #ಮೋದಿಗೆ ಏನು ನಷ್ಟವಿಲ್ಲ ಅವರ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಯಾವತ್ತೂ ಅವರಿಗಾಗಿ ಕಾಯುತ್ತಿದೆ #ಮೋದಿ ಬಯಸಿದರೆ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಸ್ಥಾನ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಕೊಡಲು ಅಲ್ಲಿನ ನಾಯಕರು ಯಾವತ್ತೂ ಸಿದ್ದರಿದ್ದಾರೆ , ನಷ್ಟವಾಗೋದು ನಮಗೆ,,,,

    ಸರ್ಜಿಕಲ್ strikes ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಜೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ.
    ನೋಟ್ ಬಂದಿ ಮಾಡಿ 200ಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಜನ ಸತ್ತರು.
    ಸರ್ಜಿಕಲ್ strikes ಮಾಡಿ ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಜೆಯನ್ನು ಸದೆ ಬಡಿದದ್ದು E.D ಮತ್ತು I.T.
    ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನವನ್ನು ಸದೆ ಬಡಿಯಲು ಹೆದರುವ ಇಲಿ ಇದು.

    ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನದಲ್ಲಿ 300ಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಮರಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಂದ ಬಿರುದು ಕಳ್ಳ ಚೌಕಿದಾರನಿಗೆ.
    1 ಯೋಧನ ತಲೆಗೆ 10 ತಲೆ ತರುವ ಅರ್ಧ ಓದಿದ ಚಹಾ ಮಾರುವವನು ಭಾರತದ 49 ಯೋಧರನ್ನು ಕೊಂದ ಬಿರುದು ಹೊಂದನು.

    ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳ ಜೇಬುಗಳನ್ನು ಖಿಾಲಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಅಂಬಾನಿಯವರಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಥ ಕಳ್ಳ ಇವನು.
    ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳೇ ಎದ್ದೇಳಿ, ಎದ್ದೇಳಿ ಬಾರತವನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟೋಣ. ಕೈಯನ್ನು ಬಲ ಪಡಿಸೋಣ.

    Getting a bail is available to every citizen of India.
    It is not a mistake.
    The mistake is eliminating evidence of massacres of Gujarati's in the year 2002
    Eliminating evidence is a blunder.

    I just wonder why Priyanka did not enter politics much earlier? She has got such a charisma and oratory skills that she would have easily become the PM of India by now.
    She definitely carries the genes of her great grandmother and the boldest PM the country has ever seen and the one who sacrificed her life for the country, Mrs. Indira Gandhi
    Though Rahul is not a match to Priyanka, he will win both the seats as the people are just waiting kick feku out like a football.

    ಆ information technologyಯನ್ನು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಿ ನೀವು ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿಯೂ ಆದಿರಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    ತಾವು ಪ್ರಧಾನಿಯಾಗಿ ಪ್ರತಿಜ್ಞೆ ಮಾಡಿದ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಅತ್ಯಧಿಕ ವಿದೇಶಿ ವಿನಿಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ಹತ್ತು ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಗಳ ಪೈಕಿ ಭಾರತ ಒಂದಾಗಿತ್ತಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಚಂದ್ರಯಾನ, ಮಂಗಳಯಾನ, GSLV,MONORAIL, METRORILE, PRUTHVI, AGNI, NAAG, NUCLIAR SUBMARINE, ವಿಮಾನವಾಹಿನಿ, INS VIBRANT ಮುಂತಾದವುಗಳು ತಾವು ಪ್ರಧಾನಿಯಾಗುವ ಮೊದಲೇ ಭಾರತದ್ದಾಗಿತ್ತು.

    ಹೇಳಲು ಇನ್ನೂ ಇದೆ.

    ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್60 ವರ್ಷದಲ್ಲಿ ಏನು ಮಾಡಿತು ಅಂತ ಕೇಳಬೇಡಿ.
    ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿದ್ದರೆ 5ವರ್ಷದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಏನು ಮಾಡಿತು ಅಂತ ಹೇಳಿ.. ಅಷ್ಟು ಸಾಕು.

    60 ವರ್ಷದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ದೇಶಕ್ಕೇನು ಮಾಡಿತು.!?

    ಇದು ಮೋದಿ ಭಾಷಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಗಾಗ ಕೇಳುವ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ. ದುರದೃಷ್ಟವಶಾತ್ ಈಗ ಅದು ಮೋದಿ ಭಕ್ತರದ್ದೂ ಆಗಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ.

    ನಾನೋರ್ವ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸಿಗನಾಗಿಯಲ್ಲ ಬದಲಾಗಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ದೇಶದ ಪ್ರಜೆಯಾಗಿ ಉತ್ತರಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.

    ಮೋದಿಯವರೇ
    300 ವರ್ಷಬ್ರಿಟಿಷರ ದಾಸ್ಯ ಮಾಡಿದ ದೇಶದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ತಾವು.

    1947ರಲ್ಲಿ ಬ್ರಿಟಿಷರು ಅಗಿದು ಉಗುಳಿದ ಜಲ್ಲೆಯಾಗಿತ್ತು ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸಿನ ಕೈಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ ಭಾರತ.
    ಅಂದು ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಸೂಜಿ ಉತ್ಪಾದಿಸುವ ವ್ಯವಸ್ತೆಯೂ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ.

    ದೇಶಾದ್ಯಂತ ಪ್ರಾದೇಶಿಕ ರಾಜರುಗಳು ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಕತ್ತಿಮಸೆಯುವ ಶಿಥಿಲವಾದ ದೇಶ.

    ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಸಂಪರ್ಕವಿದ್ದದ್ದು ಕೇವಲ 50 ಗ್ರಾಮಗಳಲ್ಲಾಗಿತ್ತು.

    20 ರಾಜರುಗಳ ಬಳಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಫೋನ್ ಸಂಪರ್ಕವಿತ್ತು.

    ಕುಡಿಯುವ ನೀರಿನ ವಿತರಣೆ ಇಲ್ಲ.

    ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇವಲ 10 ಕಿರು ಅಣೆಕಟ್ಟುಗಳಿತ್ತು.

    ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳಿಲ್ಲ.
    ವಿಧ್ಯಾಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳಿಲ್ಲ.
    ಕೃಷಿ ಮಾಡಲು ಬೀಜ, ಗೊಬ್ಬರ, ನೀರಾವರಿ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯಿಲ್ಲ.
    ನೌಕರಿಯಿಲ್ಲ.
    ಸರ್ವತ್ರ ದಾರಿದ್ರ್ಯ, ಹಸಿವು.
    ಶಿಶು ಮರಣಗಳು,
    ಸಾಂಕ್ರಾಮಿಕ ರೋಗಗಳು,

    ಸರಹದ್ದಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಸೈನಿಕರು,
    4 ಡಕೋಟಾ ವಿಮಾನಗಳು,
    20 ಯುದ್ದ ಟ್ಯಾಂಕುಗಳು,
    4 ಕಡೆಯೂ ತೆರೆದು ನಿಂತಿದ್ದ ಗಡಿಗಳು,
    ನಾಮಮಾತ್ರಕ್ಕಿದ್ದ ಸೇತುವೆಗಳು, ರಸ್ತೆಗಳು,
    ಖಾಲಿಯಾದ ಖಜಾನೆ,

    ಇದು ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಕೈಗೆ 1947ರಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ ಇಂಡಿಯ.

    60ವರ್ಷದ ನಂತರ ಮೋದಿಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ ಭಾರತ ಹೇಗಿದೆ ನೋಡೋಣ.

    ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಸೇನೆ,
    ಸಾವಿರಗಟ್ಟಲೆ ವಿಮಾನಗಳು,
    ಟ್ಯಾಂಕ್, ಹಡಗುಗಳು, ಲಕ್ಷಗಟ್ಟಲೆ ಫ್ಯಾಕ್ಟರಿಗಳು, ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಗ್ರಾಮಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ, ನೂರಾರು ಜಲವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು, ಲಕ್ಷಗಟ್ಟಲೆ ಕಿಲೋ ಮೀಟರ್‌ ನ್ಯಾಷನಲ್ ಹೈವೇ ರಸ್ತೆಗಳು, ಸೇತುವೆಗಳು, ಓವರ್ಬ್ರಿಡ್ಜುಗಳು, ಹೊಸ ರೈಲು ಹಳಿಗಳು, ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣಗಳು, ಸ್ಟೇಡಿಯಂಗಳು, super specialty ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳು, ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮನೆಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ಟಿವಿ, ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಫೋನ್, ಕಾರು,ಬಸ್, ಎಲ್ಲಾ ರೀತಿಯ ಯಾತ್ರಾಸೌಕರ್ಯಗಳು, ದೇಶದಲ್ಲೂ, ವಿದೇಶದಲ್ಲೂ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಲು infrastructure,
    ಬ್ಯಾಂಕುಗಳು, ಯುನಿವರ್ಸಿಟಿಗಳು, AIMS, IIT, IIMS , ಜಲಾಂತರ್ಗಾಮಿಗಳು, ಅಣುಬಾಂಬ್, ಅಣು ಸ್ಥಾವರಗಳು, ISRO,

    ನೆಹರೂರವರ ನವರತ್ನ ಕಂಪೆನಿಗಳು.

    ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಮೊದಲು ಭಾರತ ಸೇನೆ ಲಾಹೋರ್ ತನಕ ನುಗ್ಗಿತಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    ಪಾಕನ್ನು ಇಬ್ಬಾಗಮಾಡಿ ಬಾಂಗ್ಲಾ ಉದಯವಾಯಿತಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    ಪಾಕಿನ ಒಂದು ಲಕ್ಷ ಸೈನಿಕರು ಕಮಾಂಡರ್ ಸೇರಿ ಭಾರತ ಸೇನೆಯೆದುರು ಶರಣಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    ಹಸಿರು ಕ್ರಾಂತಿ ದೇಶಕ್ಕೆ ಚೈತನ್ಯವನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಿಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    ಆಹಾರೋತ್ಪನ್ನ ಸೇರಿ ವಿವಿಧ ಉತ್ಪನ್ನಗಳ ರಫ್ತು ಆರಂಭವಾಯಿತಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    ಇಂದಿರಾ ಗಾಂಧಿ ಬ್ಯಾಂಕುಗಳ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಕರಣ ಮಾಡಿದರಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    ರಾಜೀವ್ ಗಾಂಧಿ super computer introduce ಮಾಡಿದರಲ್ಲವೇ.?

    Modi and his bhahths are very well aware of this reality. In fact Sushma Swaraj in her last speech at UNO has narrated all these points while comparing the directions that Pakistan and India took post independence and Rahul Gandhi duly had thanked her for acknowledging INC'c contribution towards the growth of this nation. But now out of sheer greed for power he is selling these lies, and as for bhakths, well, you can't wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep, can you?

    Credit of building strong India goes to Congress.

    With Bhaashans India did not developed.
    Dr. Manmohan Singh was the Architect of Indian Economy.
    Indians should protect the integrity, sovereignty and economy of the country.
    Fake news, Fake developments, Fake G.D.P., Fake growth rate all should perish.
    Kartik Konaje, inspire people to vote to Congress Kai
    So that our hand remains in developmental work.

    Agree with most of the pointts, but when a single family holds power, if they had not done this, probably India would have been another Pakistan or Somalia. Changes take place over a period of time . How fast they take place and what benefit bthe people get is thr questions. Compare india with Japan and see where we are.Both started rebuilding the country after 1947
