Rahul Gandhi in Jharkhand to boost morale of Congress

RANCHI: All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary and Congress Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi will arrive in Jharkhand on Tuesday on a two-day visit to revive the party at grassroots level ahead of the next general elections. The Congress leader will interact with party workers right from panchayats to state levels and chalk out a strategy to strengthen the organization. Party spokesperson Shakeel Ahmad, who has already arrived in the state to oversee the preparations, said Rahul Gandhi's visit would boost the morale of the Congress workers in the state.

"The general elections - Lok Sabha and Jharkhand assembly - are due in 2014 and as a national party we need to strengthen the organization. I am sure that visit of Rahul Gandhi, who helped increasing the vote percentage in Uttar Pradesh, will also prove beneficial for Jharkhand," said Ahmad.

Rahul Gandhi would reach Ranchi in the morning and pay tribute to Birsa Munda's statue near the airport. Later, he will interact with block and district presidents of the Congress party in Doranda and panchayat leaders in Namkom.

On Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi will visit Bokaro, where he will hold meetings with members of the state executive committee and with leaders of the youth wing of the Congress.
