The Congress leader will also meet the bishop of Mananthavady diocese in view of the screening of the controversial movie 'The Kerala Story'.
Addressing an election rally, Rahul said the idea that India should have only one leader was an insult to people. "We did not get freedom from the British only to be colonised by RSS's ideology," the Congress leader said in Wayanad.
