The Congress VP educated about his visit through Twitter,"Will visit surge influenced ranges in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry tomorrow, Tuesday eighth Dec (sic)."

Supposedly, the Tamil Nadu unit of gathering has gotten requests of not publicizing the Congress VP's visit to rain-hit regions.

A Delhi High Court on Monday had declined to suppress the summons to him and his mom Sonia Gandhi to show up on Tuesday under the steady gaze of a trial court in the National Herald case.

Heavy rains in Tamil Nadu have left no less than 25 individuals dead since October 1, as per Tamil Nadu government.
