Pathanamthitta/Kottayam/New Delhi: The Congress in Kerala has suggested that party president Rahul Gandhi should contest the Lok Sabha election from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat, a party bastion in the state.

The party argued that Gandhi contesting from two seats in northern and southern regions of the country "will strengthen national unity and integration" and energise the party workers. AICC General Secretary Oommen Chandy Saturday said the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee has requested Gandhi to contest from Wayanad, but he has not yet commented on the proposal.
