Rahul likely to visit Ranchi on Oct 19

Monday, 14 October 2024 | PNS | Ranchi

Senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to visit Ranchi, Jharkhand on October 19 to participate in various programs, including the Samvidhan Samman Sammelan.

Jharkhand Congress Media Department chief Satish Paul Munjani said on Saturday that preparations for his visit have already been started.

The main event will likely be held in the capital city’s Carnival Auditorium, which was recently inspected by Congress State President Keshav Mahto Kamlesh, along with fellow leaders including Shashi Bhushan Rai, Vinay Kumar Deepu, Ranchi District Rural Congress District President Rakesh Kiran Mahto, spokesperson Jagdish Sahu, and others.

The party sources said that the final approval for the venue was yet to come and would be finalised on Monday when the orders from the Congress high command in Delhi are expected.

“Once the venue is finalised, we will seek the security clearance for the program. Rahul ji’s security cannot be compromised,” they said.

Sahu said that Gandhi's main focus in the Sammelan would be the rights of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, OBCs, and minorities, as defined by Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar through the Constitution, but are being snatched away.

“How reservation is being abolished due to privatisation and the intention of the current BJP government and RSS is to end reservation. During this, Rahul ji will also raise the issue of equal participation for those who have more participation in society and their rights being snatched away,” he said.

Although the Ranchi program will be his fifth such program in the country, this edition gains significance as it is being held ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Jharkhand.
