Kochi: Apart from running a high voltage campaign against Narendra Modi government over farmers' issue, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will step up his outreach to more working class segments by taking up traditional fishermen's woes during his visit to Kerala's coastal hamlet next week.

Congress whip in Lok Sabha K C Venugopal said Rahul will visit Chavakkad, a small coastal town in Thrissur district, next week where fishermen are agitating against the Centre's decision to extend trawling ban from 47 days to 61 days. Gandhi's two-day Kerala visit will begin on May 26.
