Rahul heading to Rajasthan for poll rally: will he speak in Lok Sabha?

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will address a rally in Rajasthan's Banswara district on Wednesday, his first public meeting after the restoration of his Lok Sabha membership.

The rally will be held on World Tribal Day and mark the beginning of the party's campaign for the state Assembly polls due later this year.

"Gandhi will address a public meeting at Mangarh Dham in Banswara on Wednesday. A large number of people, including tribals, will take part," Rajasthan Congress general secretary Swarnim Chaturvedi said.

Chaturvedi said Gandhi will reach Udaipur in a flight and take a chopper from there to reach the venue of the rally.

Congress in-charge for Rajasthan Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, state party chief Govind Singh Dotasra, ministers Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya and other leaders are already in Banswara to look after the arrangements.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will reach Banswara on Wednesday.
