Rahul in Mumbai tomorrow to take stock of Maharashtra

April 26, 2012 18:04

With ally NCP surging ahead of Congress in the recent local body elections in Maharashtra, AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi's one-day visit to Mumbai
tomorrow is being viewed in party circles as a move to put the state unit into a pro-active mode and retrieve lost ground.

Rahul's schedule includes meetings with elected representatives from the local bodies and office-bearers of block, district and state units. This is the first time the youth leader will be participating in a political stock-taking exercise in the state, where Congress is in power, along with Sharad Pawar's NCP, since 1999 but is steadily losing ground to its ally.

He had visited Mumbai two years ago for a Youth Congress enrollment drive and interacted with college students. Rahul had also undertaken a surprise ride in a suburban train.
