Rahul Gandhi's shocking North vs South comparison

Earlier on Tuesday, the Congress leader sparked a controversy as he engaged in a shocking comparison of North vs South India. In a bid to woo voters in poll bound Kerala, he stated that people in the state are 'interested in issues', thereby giving him a platform for 'different type of politics'. 

"My experience now since I have been an MP, I have also got to understand the wisdom of people of Kerala. For the first 15 years, I was an MP in the north. I had got used to a different type of politics. For me, coming to Kerala was very refreshing because suddenly I found that people are interested in issues and not just superficially but going into detail in the issues."

"I was talking to some students in the US & I said that I really enjoy going to Kerala. It's not just affection but the way you do your politics. If I might say so, the intelligence with which you do your politics. So, for me, it's been a learning experience & pleasure," he added.
