Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday filed his nomination papers from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat after a massive road show with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Dressed casually in white T-shirt and black pants, Rahul looked tense before filing his papers even as Priyanka did all the coordination and paper gathering.

When district collector Dr Renu Raj asked him to sign the documents, Rahul looked around for a pen and finally managed to get one.

Earlier, Rahul and Priyanka arrived in a helicopter and headed a long road show. Unlike last time, there were no flags. When he had come to file papers in the last election in 2019, Muslim League workers held green flags, prompting Union Home Minister Amit Shah to comment that Wayanad looked like a mini Pakistan.

The CPM made fun of Rahul and the Congress. Party general secretary MV Govindan said the Congress is in such a plight that the party cannot raise its own flag.
