Congress set to address party's 'Hain Tayyar Hum' rally in Nagpur
Reportedly the congress is set to kickstart its campaign for next year’s lok sabha elections with its mega rally ‘Hain Tayyar Hum’ in Maharashtra’s nagpur city on thursday, the party’s 139th foundation day. It will be a historic moment for the people of the country, maharashtra congress chief Nana Patole on wednesday said addressing a press conference at the venue of the event. The party will give a message of change to defeat the bharatiya janata party (BJP) at the Centre, he said. congress president mallikarjun Kharge and former party chiefs sonia gandhi and rahul gandhi will address the rally, according to party leaders. The mega event assumes significance as it will be held in nagpur, where the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) headquarters and ‘Deekshabhoomi’, the historic place where Dr B R Ambedkar embraced Buddhism, are located.
Perhaps “The rally, with the theme ‘Hain Tayyar Hum’ (we are ready), will send a good message throughout the country. The congress will sound the bugle for the lok sabha polls due next year,” party MLA from nagpur Nitin Raut told PTI. Elaborate preparations have been made for the mega rally at Dighori in nagpur where lakhs of people and congress workers will attend the event, as per party leaders. congress MLA Raut said the party has chosen nagpur for the rally due to its ideology and thinking. On one hand, there is the RSS ideology, and the other hand is the ideology of Constitution’s architect Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar which is aligned with the ideology of the congress, he said.
Moreover the public will certainly go along with the slogan of the congress and the rally will sound the bugle for the upcoming lok sabha elections, Raut added. On thursday evening, Kharge will also hold a meeting here with the congress general secretaries and other senior party leaders, as per the schedule shared by the party.
