Who will draw the maximum crowd ? Congress leader Rahul Gandhi or Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Chamling - that's the question doing the rounds in Sikkim.

What confirmed the fact that Rahul Gandhi would be visiting the state was the arrival of a team of Special Protection Group (SPG) commandos in Gangtok to oversee security arrangements.

Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to address a Congress campaign meeting at Paljor Stadium on April 25. The state elects its lone Lok Sabha nominee April 30.

The chief minister is also slated to address a meeting at Siyari in Gangtok April 25. 'The question is which meeting shall have the greater audience?,' quipped one leader.

If that was not enough to stir Sikkim state, another news filtered in that actress Hema Malini and Jaswant Singh, the Bharatiya Janata Party MP candidate from Darjeeling, are also scheduled to visit Gangtok April 25.
