Bihar Congress to extend historic welcome to Rahul Gandhi on June 23

The Congress in Bihar would extend a “historic” welcome to Rahul Gandhi when he visits the state later this week, for the first time since making waves with ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, the party’s state president Akhilesh Prasad Singh said on Sunday. Talking to reporters, Singh said Gandhi will be accompanied by AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and general secretary in-charge of organisation K C Venugopal and they will make a stopover at Sadaqat Ashram, the BPCC headquarters, before attending the meeting of opposition leaders convened by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. “Gandhi will drive straight to Sadaqat Ashram from the airport and will be accorded a historic welcome all through the route. It is a special occasion for us since he is visiting Bihar for the first time since his Bharat Jodo Yatra”, said the Bihar Congress chief.
