Sonia Gandhi in Rajkot Gujarat for Congress’s Election Campaign

On October 3, AICC president Sonia Gandhi will formally go for Congress’s campaign for upcoming assembly elections from Rajkot, party sources said.

Before her public rally in Rajkot, Jasdan, Jetpur, she is likely to visit Kirti Mandir, birth place of Mahatma Gandhi at Porbandar before the formal launch of the election campaign for Congress at a public rally in Rajkot district. This rally signifies the importance Congress is giving the region in the upcoming elections, especially with former BJP stalwart Keshubhai Patel also active here. The farmers' rally at Rajkot would also be Gandhi’s first public meeting.

 “Apart from Jasdan, Jetpur and Kuvadava in the district, it’s likely that Gandhi may address a rally in Rajkot. It is a central location where voters from four districts can be brought together,” said a senior member of the Congress. The form distribution of 100-sq-yard plots promised to rural voters is likely to start at this rally.
