Rahul Gandhi’s Comeback: The Congress election campaign, which is currently in the dock of questions and doubts for the Delhi Assembly elections, will now gain momentum from January 28. Mainly rallies and public meetings have been scheduled. It is being said that not only the top leadership of the party but also the star campaigners will be present.
Earlier, for three consecutive days from January 22 to 24, senior party leader Rahul Gandhi’s public meetings were scheduled in Indralok, Mustafabad and Madipur respectively. But party sources said earlier Rahul had gone to Bihar to attend a political event where he was suffering from a throat infection and viral fever. Doctors have advised him to rest for some time and not to give speeches. Therefore, all their public meetings were cancelled.
Congress is sitting on its own hands
On the other hand, even though Rahul Gandhi is considered unwell, the absence of Priyanka Vadra and the party’s national president Mallikarjun Kharge in the Delhi election campaign also raises questions. On one hand, all its major leaders and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann are campaigning on behalf of AAP at many places in a day, while many state chief ministers and Union ministers are coming forward on behalf of the BJP. But the Congress is being seen sitting on its hands as an excuse for Rahul’s health.
The entire program of election campaign is being planned from 28
However, high-ranking party sources said that the reason for the slight relaxation in the Delhi election campaign is Rahul Gandhi’s illness as well as the party’s ongoing national-level campaign Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Constitution Rally. On Monday, a big event has also been organised in Muhu, the birthplace of the Constitution maker Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar. All the elders of the party will leave on Sunday to attend the event and return only by Monday night. So now the entire schedule of election campaigning is being planned from 28.
Party sources said from January 28 that several big leaders, including Rahul, Priyanka, Kharge and 40 star campaigners, will be seen campaigning for Congress candidates at different places. The top leadership campaign space is still being finalised.
