Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi
is likely to visit Punjab again on October 19. This time he will be in
Jalandhar to meet all the councilors of various Nagar Councils, corporators of
various municipal corporations and the members of the Zila Parishads and
Panchayat Samitis.
Rahul Gandhi had promised to visit Punjab again, during his
last visit, to elicit the views of all sections of the party for improving it
in Punjab. The purpose of meeting all the elected councilors and others is to
have a feel of the grassroots situation in Punjab as these representatives have
a feel of the ground situation for their day to day interface with the common
man.
During his last visit also Rahul Gandhi primarily focused on
the block presidents although he met the district presidents and the party
legislators at the same time. He is understood to be keen to see the working
and support of the party at the grassroots. The councilors and others from
across Punjab have been asked to reach Jalandhar on October 19. While in his
first leg he was originally scheduled to visit Amritsar, Jalandhar and Patiala
the programme was changed. He went to Amritsar and Chandigarh instead. The
councilors and others had not been able to meet him during his first visit.
Rahul’s revisit to Punjab within a span of one week has
reconfirmed the reports that his visits have nothing to gauge any opinion about
the state leadership as he mainly appears to be keen and concerned to
strengthen the party at the grassroots. Rahul is on a nationwide tour and is
scheduled to visit all the states and union territories across India.
