After being reinstated as MP Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has left for his Parliamentary constituency in Kerala's Wayanad.
Gandhi has left for Wayanad from his residence in Delhi, the reports said.
Earlier, Lok Sabha Secretariat restored the membership of Congress leader Gandhi after the Supreme Court on August 4 stayed his conviction in the 'Modi' surname remark case.
The reports quoting Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee Working President VT Siddique has confirmed Gandhi’s visit to the state.
"Rahul Gandhi will be coming to Wayanad on August 12. We are going to arrange a warm reception for him and the preparations have already started. There is a district
Congress Committee meeting tomorrow. Rahul Gandhi will be present for it on August 12 and 13,” he was quoted by ANI as having said.

"There will be a very warm welcome ever hand in the history of Wayanad for Rahul Gandhi," Siddique was quoted by ANI as having said.
Gandhi has reportedly also been re-allotted the 12, Tughlaq Lane bungalow.
"Rahul Gandhi has got an official confirmation from the Estate office for the allotment of a bungalow to him as an MP in Delhi," the ANI reported.
The Congress leader was disqualified as a member of the lower house on March 24 as a result of his conviction and a two-year jail term awarded to him for the 'Modi surname' remarks.
The move to vacate the bungalow had come a day after Surat Session's Court pronounced an order on April 20 on his interim application for a stay on his conviction in the defamation case.
