Top Congress Leaders To Arrive In Rajasthan Today For Mega Rally

The rally is significant because it is expected to set the tone of the Congress party’s campaign for seven Assembly elections next year.

Jaipur: The Congress is all set to hold a massive rally in Jaipur. This rally includes Senior leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and Chief Ministers from all party-ruled states. This massive rally is held to target centre over inflation and hiked price rise of essential commodities which includes vegetables and fuel.

The rally is to be held in Jaipur. It is also noticed that chief Sonia Gandhi will not attend.

The rally is significant because it is expected to set the tone of the party’s campaign for seven Assembly elections next year, including in the politically key state of Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Punjab, where the party is battling to retain power.

Dubbed ‘mehangai hatao‘, the rally will see top Congress leaders share the stage in a show-of-strength for a party facing a strong challenge from Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Rajasthan Congress leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot has said the ‘mehangai hatao’ rally will be the downfall of the BJP government at the centre, which has been severely criticised for rising prices by several opposition parties.

“It will become a factor of downfall for the BJP government at the centre in 2024,” Mr Pilot said in a statement. They will have to explain seven years’ “misgovernance” and check inflation, he said.

Mr Pilot is also expected to take to the stage at the Jaipur rally.

The mega rally is also being seen as a ‘re-branding’ of the Congress with the younger Gandhi siblings at the helm and taking point as the party is seen fighting for important national issues.
