Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will address a public meeting in Mangaluru on Thursday instead of holding a roadshow
All-India Congress Committee general secretary and Rajya Sabha member K.C. Venugopal on Wednesday said that party leader Rahul Gandhi will address a public meeting in Mangaluru on Thursday instead of holding a roadshow.
Mr. Venugopal told reporters here that Mr. Gandhi will arrive at Mangaluru after a Udupi programme. The public meeting will be attended by Congress workers and the public, he said.
The meeting will be held at the Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management Grounds at Adyar from 3.30 p.m.
The meeting will herald the Congress’ victory in coastal Karnataka with a repeat of the 2013 Assembly elections results, he said.
Mr. Gandhi, he said, will reveal the truth behind his disqualification as an MP and the conspiracy behind it.
Within a few days of Mr. Gandhi raising the Adani scam in the Lok Sabha, a local court pronounced judgement on his defamation case. Within 24 hours, he was disqualified as an MP, followed by his eviction from the government bungalow, Mr. Venugopal noted.
Neither the Congress nor Mr. Gandhi could be bogged down by these tactics of the BJP, Mr. Venugoopal said, adding both would emerge stronger with these developments.
