Congress district unit in Kasaragod in Kerala is determined that they won't let the helipad built for Rahul Gandhi's election campaign to be used for BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's landing.

Despite request from the security officers' the Congress district committee asked the contractors to demolish the helipad built for Rahul Gandhi's landing on Saturday. The helipad was dismantled completely on Sunday evening. Now BJP will have to built another helipad in Kasergod Government College ground to make way for Modi's safe landing in Kasaragod on Tuesday.

Modi is expected to arrive in Kasaragod for the campaign of BJP candidate K Surendran in Kasergod on Tuesday morning. Though the BJP district leadership has requested Congress to let the helipad built for Rahul Gandhi to Modi, the Congress leaders were adamant that they won't let it use by the political opponent. Gujarat police DIG R J Sawani who reached the place in advance to oversee the security arrangements for Modi expressed dismay over the decision of the Congress to dismantle the helipad.

Congress leaders of the district say that the helipad was built using the funds of Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) and there is no reason why they should let it for BJP. The BJP has started making the new helipad near the dismantled one on Sunday. It is yet to see whether the helipad controversy will find place in Modi's Kasaragod campaign speech or not.
