Rahul Gandhi to visit Punjab again

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi is likely to visit Punjab again on October 19. This time he will be in Jalandhar to meet all the councilors of various Nagar Councils, corporators of various municipal corporations and the members of the Zila Parishads and Panchayat Samitis.

Rahul Gandhi had promised to visit Punjab again, during his last visit, to elicit the views of all sections of the party for improving it in Punjab. The purpose of meeting all the elected councilors and others is to have a feel of the grassroots situation in Punjab as these representatives have a feel of the ground situation for their day to day interface with the common man.

During his last visit also Rahul Gandhi primarily focused on the block presidents although he met the district presidents and the party legislators at the same time. He is understood to be keen to see the working and support of the party at the grassroots. The councilors and others from across Punjab have been asked to reach Jalandhar on October 19. While in his first leg he was originally scheduled to visit Amritsar, Jalandhar and Patiala the programme was changed. He went to Amritsar and Chandigarh instead. The councilors and others had not been able to meet him during his first visit.

Rahul’s revisit to Punjab within a span of one week has reconfirmed the reports that his visits have nothing to gauge any opinion about the state leadership as he mainly appears to be keen and concerned to strengthen the party at the grassroots. Rahul is on a nationwide tour and is scheduled to visit all the states and union territories across India.
