Congress president Sonia Gandhi will hold a roadshow in Varanasi on August 2 to kickoff her poll campaign for 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election.
Gandhi’s roadshow would cover nearly 8 KM distance, passing through the busy and narrow lanes of the city. Thousands of supporters and party workers are likely to participate in it.
She would also garland statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Sardar Patel falling enroute. At the Englishiyaline, Gandhi is expected to make a five minute speech and also garland the statue of Pandit Kamla Pati Tripati.
Congress's UP Chief Ministerial candidate Sheila Dikshit and Ghulam Nabi Azad will also be present in the roadshow, reportedly.
Gandhi is also expected to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Loksabha constituency over lack of development despite his promise made during the 2014 Loksabha campaign to turn around the holy city.
The roadshow is also aimed at rejuvenating her party workers ahead of the crucial Assembly polls. Poll strategist Prashant Kishor, senior Congress leaders Salman Khurshid, Rana Goswami, Zafar Ali, Rajeshpati Tripathi, Rajesh Mishra, Ajay Rai along with other leaders are holding regular meetings for the success of the show.
