Rahul Gandhi can still contest from Amethi
The former Congress president may file his nomination from the Amethi seat after the polling in the Wayanad seat to be held on April 26
Ahead of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in Haryana, state party in-charge Shakti Singh Gohil on Wednesday said indiscipline will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
At a meeting of party leaders held in Chandigarh to prepare for the yatra, Gohil urged all leaders to express their opinions on appropriate party forums.
He called upon all the leaders and workers present in the meeting to make Bharat Jodo Yatra a grand success. “Rahul Gandhi has set out on a journey with a positive message, to stop the divisive policies of the BJP. He has started an effort to unite India. That is why the public is feeling an emotional connection with this yatra,” Gohil added.
The meeting was attended by former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, state president Chaudhary Udaybhan, Rajya Sabha member Deepender Singh Hooda, all working state presidents and party MLAs.
Hooda said Gandhi’s yatra is getting tremendous support across the country. “The arrival of Yatra in Haryana and people’s association with it will be historic. Lakhs of people from Haryana will be a part of the yatra. Tremendous enthusiasm is being seen in the public regarding the arrival of Rahul Gandhi’s yatra in the state even now,” he said.
Udaybhan informed that he had formed 14 separate committees for the management of the Yatra and coordinators of all 22 districts have been appointed. “The journey in Haryana will be in two phases. On 21 December, it will enter Haryana from Firozpur Jhirka and move ahead via Sohna, Barkhal, Faridabad,” he stated.
Deepender said BJP had conspired continuously to tarnish the image of Rahul Gandhi, but he is still moving ahead with pure soul and positive purpose. “His attempt to unite India will definitely be successful. This yatra will bridge that gap which has been dug by BJP in the society in the name of rich-poor and caste-religion,” he added.
