Rahul would address an election meeting at Chennai on May 7 and in Coimbatore and Madurai the same day, he said.
The TNCC President and Congress candidates and senior leaders were here to inspect the VOC Grounds where Gandhi is scheduled to address the meeting.
There was also a proposal for him to campaign in Tirunelveli and Nagercoil, he said.
Asked about the prospects for the alliance, he said this election would prove to be the 'death knell' of AIADMK.
