Congress president Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to address a mega rally at the Gandhi Maidan in Bihar's capital Patna on Sunday. This would be the Congress party's the first public meeting at the Gandhi Maidan after nearly three decades. Chief ministers of Congress-ruled Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh will also be present during the rally. Besides, Congress party's alliance partners are also likely to attend the rally, where the Congress president will blow his party's poll bugle. AICC in-charge of Bihar, Shaktisinh Gohil had Saturday said that special invitations have been sent to all alliance partners, including RJD's Tejashwi Yadav, RLSP leader and former minister in Modi cabinet Upendra Kushwaha and Hindustani Awam Morcha's (HAM) Jitan Ram Manjhi. While the HAM leader has already confirmed his presence at the event, there are still doubts over the presence of Kushwaha, who is nourishing injury wounds at PMCH following a clash with the police. Leaders of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) has worked overtime and held as many as 400 public meetings across the state to galvanize support for the rally.
