Rahul Gandhi is visiting Wayanad to monitor flood relief work in his constituency. Wayanad was hit by several landslides during this year's monsoon and Rahul has been visiting flood relief camps and reviewing rehabilitation work in the region.

This is not the first time Rahul has found himself the subject of some public affection.

Earlier this year, Rahul was kissed on the cheek by a woman in Gujarat, where he was campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls. That incident, coincidentally, enough took place on February 14, Valentine's Day.

In a similar incident from 2014, Rahul was kissed on the cheek by a man at a West Bengal sweetshop that Gandhi visited after a political rally.
