Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, party leader and local MP Shashi Tharoor, KPCC chief K Sudhakaran, state Minister K Radhakrishnan and CPI's Annie Raja were among the high profile candidates who filed their nominations for the April 26 Lok Sabha polls in Kerala. Polling will be held in all of Kerala's 20 parliamentary constituencies on April 26 for which the last date of filing nomination papers was April 4. Many of the candidates led road shows and foot marches on the way to filing their nominations at the district headquarters, to showcase their support. Rahul Gandhi held a massive roadshow and attacked the BJP and the RSS, accusing them of "trying to destroy" the Constitution and democratic nature of India, before he filed his nomination for Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, seeking a second term from there.
