Rahul's first to visit Gujarat after note ban

December 19, 2016 09:49

Business Standard reports: Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi will address a public rally in Mehsana, Gujarat, on Wednesday where the party enjoys a majority in both district and taluka panchayats. This will be his first visit to the state after demonetisation.

The visit holds significance with Assembly polls expected to be held in 2017. He had visited Gujarat in July to meet four dalit youths, who were allegedly thrashed by cow vigilantes in Una town. According to party leaders in the state, around 200,000 people are likely to attend the meeting.
