Congress stir against price rise from next month; Rahul Gandhi flies to London

New Delhi: The Congress leadership will start the second phase of its ‘Jan Jagran Andolan’ from next month to mobilize the people against the problem of rising inflation and rising unemployment. The party expects the movement to continue in the states as mobilization for the Congress’s ‘Kanyakumari to Kashmir Unite India Yatra’ from October 2.

Given the record of the first phase of Jan Jagran, it remains to be seen how the movement of the second phase of the Congress will perform on the scale of stability and influence. Meanwhile, the party intends to include the participation of like-minded civic organizations in the party’s 3,000-km India Yatra, which Rahul Gandhi will start from Kanyakumari on the next Gandhi Jayanti day. ET had earlier also reported that the AICC committee had proposed joint ventures with civil society organizations on common causes, including the Jan Jagran Andolan, to continue the agitation.

Since only 430 party representatives could attend the Udaipur camp, some of the left out and thus suffering many PCC working presidents and some state ministers would soon be given a briefing on the Udaipur announcement by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul. As promised in Udaipur, Gandhi hopes to set up a task force soon to consolidate the methods of implementing the new resolution.

Rahul will speak in Cambridge

Rahul Gandhi on Thursday left for London where he will address students at Cambridge University. An AICC functionary said Gandhi will speak at the university on May 23 on ‘India at 75’, the challenges and the way forward for a resilient-modern India. He will also interact with the Indian diaspora. Gandhi was on a foreign trip ahead of the party’s Udaipur Chintan Shivir and his latest visit coincides with the gradual resignations of Hardik Patel in Gujarat and Sunil Jakhar in Punjab along with the Congress – amid talks of more leaders being on the sidelines. .
