Central leadership of Congress and BJP to hold multiple rallies in Maharashtra ahead of Assembly election on November 20.
With the Maharashtra Assembly election slated for November 20, the central leadership of the Congress and the BJP will focus on holding multiple rallies in the State over the next few days.
The BJP has already planned 100 rallies in the State. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari will hold several rallies.
The Congress is also planning to arrange the rallies of the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Kharge will be in Mumbai on November 6 to announce the ‘guarantees’ of the party for the Maharashtra election. NCP-SP president Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray will also be present on the occasion.
“We have requested for maximum sabhas of Rahul Gandhiji in Maharashtra. We have also requested Priyankaji for rallies. Khargeji will be here to canvass for candidates,” Maharashtra Congress leader Atul Londhe told The Hindu.

Maharashtra in-charge of the Congress, Ramesh Chennithala, said several party leaders would hold rallies in the State. “We want Rahulji, Khargeji and Priyankaji to come. Beyond that, from Salman Khurshid to P. Chidambaram, from Manish Tewari to Pawan Khera, and the Chief Ministers of Telangana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, everyone will be here for campaigning,” he told The Hindu.
One of the biggest joys for a film buff would be to come across a print of an old classic in pristine quality, to savour it in its original glory. But not much thought was given to preserving films until recently that a good number of old films have been lost by now. When filmmaker and archivist Shivendra Singh Dungarpur embarked on a project to restore Aravindan’s Thampu and Kummatty, he faced quite a lot of difficulty in finding surviving film elements in decent condition to work with.
