National

Former Congress president and MP Rahul Gandhi will kick start the poll campaign in Bihar on October 23, where he will address two rallies in a day. He will address one rally in Hisua where Neetu Singh is a Congress candidate from that area. The party is eyeing Bhumihar vote bank as in the last assembly polls 9 MLAs were elected from Bhumihar community. It was the first time that party had got these numbers after so many years.

To give a message to the community, the rally has been planned there in another area at Kahalgaon. Congress CLP leader Sadanand Singh’s son Mukesh Singh is contesting on Congress ticket. Sadanand Singh is a 9th term MLA and has vacated his seat for his son Mukesh Singh. Rahul will address his second rally to boost Mukesh Singh prospects.

According to sources, the Party is working on the joint rallies of Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi but the program is yet to be finalised. The party is planning at least 6 rallies of Rahul Gandhi in Bihar Assembly Polls, two rallies for each phase of polls.
