New Delhi : Rahul Gandhi, Congress vice-president, is scheduled to visit several villages and towns in tribal-dominated south Gujarat from November 1 to 3 as part of the Congress’s ‘Navsararjan Gujarat Yatra’.
The yatra has commenced from Jambusar in Bharuch district and culminate in Surat on Friday. During the 3-day tour, Rahul will address farmers, women, youths, traders and the party workers at several places in Bharuch, Tapi, Dangs, Valsad, Navsari, Valsad and Surat district, the release said.
Rahul, who has been attacking the Modi government and the BJPover the “Gujarat development model”, had visited a number of temples in the state last month, a move seen as a portrayal of ‘soft Hindutva’ in the BJP-ruled state, known as the laboratory of Hindutva.
A girl got aboard the van of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and clicked selfies with him during his road show in Bharuch in south Gujarat on Wednesday.
The girl, identified as Mantsha Ibrahim Sheth, a class 10 student, said Gandhi obliged after she requested him for a selfie.
“I was following him for quite a long time during the road show. He gave me flowers and I asked him can I take selfie with him, to which he agreed,” she told reporters.
Gandhi began his three-day campaign tour of south Gujarat in the run up to the next month’s Assembly elections.
