Union Tourism Minister and the BJP's candidate in Ernakulam in Kerala KJ Alphons has told NDTV that he feels pity for the people of Wayanad who are faced with the prospect of a helicopter candidate. He said Rahul Gandhi's visits to Amethi were so rare that they made national headlines and it will be the same in Wayanad, which will be a tragedy for the people of this hill town. He also claimed the BJP would get much more than a toehold in Kerala this time as the people of Kerala wanted to be part of the 'Modi magic' that the rest of India was already experiencing.
