I was an MP in north. I had got used to a different type of politics, Rahul Gandhi said.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday triggered a north vs south politics debate as he described his stint as an MP from Kerala as 'refreshing' after 15 years of representing Uttar Pradesh's Amethi in Lok Sabha.

"For the first 15 years, I was an MP in north. I had got used to a different type of politics. For me, coming to Kerala was very refreshing as suddenly I found that people are interested in issues and not just superficially but going into detail in issues," Rahul Gandhi said speaking at an event in Trivandrum.
