Congress' Mashaal Rally in Gadchiroli on June 12

Nagpur: Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) will hold 'Mashaal Rally' in Gadchiroli on June 12, to create awareness about 'social, political and agrarian' issues. Party spokesperson Atul Londhe said, "We will focus on farmer issues apart from what our leader, Rahul Gandhi, wrote about the state assembly polls being rigged in Maharashtra last year. " The rally will be spearheaded by state Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal who is currently locked in a battle of words with his counterpart in BJP Chandrashekhar Bawankule over allegations of Maharashtra assembly polls being rigged. On Saturday, Congress neta Rahul Gandhi wrote an article alleging poll rigging by BJP in Maharashtra, and picked Kamptee constituency as a case study. Since Bawankule represents that constituency, a war-of-words between him and Sapkal ensued. With Sapkal arriving on Monday in Nagpur, this verbal duel is likely to escalate. Congress' rally is being keenly watched by political observers as local body polls are due in a few months. It was Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra which created quite a stir and traction for the party ahead of Lok Sabha polls. Many leaders in the party believe that such long yatras or at least rallies which connect the party with public directly is a key element in poll strategy to regain lost ground. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Political analysts have interpreted Rane's statement as a jibe at ally Shiv Sena (Shinde). Bawankule said, "I think Rane wanted to say that CM Devendra Fadnavis is there to solve everybody's problem, someone who takes care of everyone. The word 'baap' got mixed up in the sentence and created the confusion."
