MUMBAI: Congress president Sonia Gandhi and MP Rahul Gandhi will address the Congress foundation day rally at Shivaji Park on December 28.
“On the occasion of Congress foundation day on December 28, the party has organised a big rally at Shivaji Park. We have invited both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi for the event,” AICC general secretary H K Patil, who is also in-charge of Maharashtra, said on Friday.
Patil was in Mumbai to review the party’s preparedness for the ensuing civic elections. “We have already launched preparations for the February 2022 BMC elections. We have drafted a comprehensive action plan for the civic elections. We discussed the party manifesto, however, there was no discussion on possible alliance with any political party. We will meet again,” he said.
Patil said there was massive loss of human lives, agriculture crop and houses in the recent floods in the coastal Konkan region, but the financial assistance provided by the NDA government was meagre, even assistance from the NDRF is awaited.
“It was quite shocking that neither the Prime Minister nor the home minister found time to visit the state for on-spot st-udy of the situation,” he said.
