These Congress leaders will ‘publicly launch’ the Congress manifesto in a rally which will be organised in Jaipur at Vidhyadhar Nagar on Saturday afternoon around 1 p.m.
Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra said, “Congress’ ‘Nyaya Patra’, which guarantees justice to the country, will be launched today in Jaipur in the presence of lakhs of people by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.”
Sachin Pilot, Ashok Gehlot and the Rajasthan Congress leaders will also be present on the occasion, said party workers.
With this rally, Congress is trying to tap Jaipur, Jaipur Rural, Dausa, Sikar, Tonk-Sawai Madhopur Lok Sabha seats. Party sources said that it will leave no stone unturned to give a tough fight to the BJP.
After this Jaipur meeting, Congress’ star campaigners will continue visiting different districts and organise roadshows, rallies and election meets.
To date, only Mallikarjun Kharge held a meeting in Chittorgarh after the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections, on April 4. Apart from him, no other central leader visited Rajasthan for campaigning. On the other hand, the top brass of the BJP has been making constant tours of Rajasthan.
PM Narendra Modi has held two rallies and will be holding a third rally in Pushkar on Saturday. Union Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda have recently visited Jhalawad.
Now Congress is also scheduling meetings of star campaigners, said party workers.
