The day-long tour will be Gandhi’s third visit in the poll-bound state in a span of 20 days.
Tight security arrangements have been made in the view of Rahul Gandhi’s visit.
The Madhya Pradesh assembly polls are due by the year-end. BJP is in power since 2003 in the state.
Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh and Congress state-level poll committee chairman Jyotiraditya Scindia are expected to be present on the occasion.
On October 2, a large number of people of the Adivasi Ekta Parishad have begun a foot march from Gwalior to seek land rights for the farmers and tribals.
“We have embarked on a foot march from Gwalior on October 2 for Delhi. The Congress president will arrive at Morena tomorrow to listen to our problems and to tell us how these problems will be solved in the event of his party coming to power at the Centre,” Adivasi Ekta Parishad’s national convener P V Rajgopal said.
