New Delhi, Sep 4: Slogans of “Make Rahul Gandhi INC president” rent the air on Sunday as thousands of Congress supporters reached the Ramlila Maidan here to raise their voice against price rise and unemployment.
Many party workers, who came to attend the ‘Mehangai Par Halla Bol’ rally, put up banners demanding Rahul to once again lead the party.
The rally also saw the presence of women, children and the elderly who braved the scorching heat and participated in the gathering to register their protest against “skyrocketing” prices of essential commodities.
As soon as Gandhi came on the dias, the crowd gave him a standing ovation and raised slogans of “Rahul Gandhi Zindabad”.
“Rahul ji is our true leader and we have full faith in him that he will restore the glory of the Congress. He should be made the party president,” Deepesh Singh, who came to attend the rally from Muzaffarnagar in western Uttar Pradesh, said.
Rahul had resigned from the top post following the party’s debacle in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Sonia Gandhi has been leading the party as interim president since August, 2019.
Rahul and a host of senior leaders of the party addressed the rally.
Party workers from Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, besides other parts of the country, were in attendance. (PTI)
