Chennai: Rahul Gandhi is in Tamil Nadu for a two-day visit as the state starts prepping for elections - it votes early next year.
He met with Youth Congress workers this morning in Vanagram, about 45 minutes from Chennai. The Congress General Secretary urged the gathering to help build the party from scratch and from "grass-root level" in the state. He also suggested, "In some years, we will have a Chief Minister from this gathering."
Several leading members of the Tamil Nadu film industry will meet with Gandhi at what's being described as an interaction with "intellectuals" later today. Expected to attend the session at the Taj Hotel in Chennai: actors Revathi, Nasser, Jayam Ravi; movie producer Ramanarayanan; and social activists including Nithyanand Jayaraman.
