Congress leader Rahul Gandhi went ziplining in Kerala's Wayanad on Tuesday (November 12). This 300 meter long zipline is the longest zipline in Kerala. Rahul has shared this adventure sports video on his YouTube channel. He said that tourism in Wayanad has been damaged due to landslides, but let us tell you that the impact was in a limited area. Wayanad is very safe.
Priyanka also accompanied Rahul to the adventure park, though she did not go ziplining. Both spoke to the adventure park staff. Rahul said in the video that these people have not given up despite the recent challenges. He has created tremendous attractions in Wayanad. I tried the zipline myself, and I really enjoyed it.
Rahul said that this is more than politics for me. The people of Wayanad have made a place in my heart. Priyanka and I have made it our mission to make Wayanad the top tourist destination in Kerala. Wayanad represents the best of India – beautiful landscapes, colorful culture and unmatched resilience.
