Gandhi while asking the state Congress leaders at the KPCC Executive meeting here to stand united said it was "not the time to fight" amongst themselves.
Expressing confidence that the UDF would retain power in the state, Gandhi said there was only one thing -- "CPI(M) cannot defeat Congress, Congress can defeat Congress party".
Gandhi said senior leaders in the state are "exceptionally talented" and that what one does not have others have. "They together are much more powerful than alone. They have their strength and weaknesses. They have to stay together."
"For one or two months, hold hands and join together and let Congress rule return to the state in the coming assembly polls," said Rahul, who is on a two-day visit to Kerala that began yesterday.
At the meeting, the state leaders asked Gandhi not to have any truck with the CPI(M) in West Bengal, terming the Left party as "undependable" and accusing it of pursuing politics of violence.
However, Gandhi in his speech did not touch on the subject but was more focussed on seding a clear signal to party workers and leaders to end infighting and bickering in the state unit.
KPCC President V M Sudheeran and Vice-President M M Hassan in their speeches attacked CPI(M), which they charged follows a policy of politics of violence.
Sudheeran also reminded Congress leaders about the "insincerity" of CPI-M in Bihar polls, where they formed a third front to fight the Grand alliance and divided the 'secular' votes.
"That actually enabled BJP to win some of the seats," he said.
Hassan requested Gandhi not to have any tie up with CPI-M and said "CPI-M is a undependable party".
Those who attended the meeting included former Defence Minister and CWC Member A K Antony, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, PCC President V M Sudheeran and AICC General Secretary in-charge of Kerala Mukul Wasnik.
