Maharashtra assembly election 2019: Rahul Gandhi to hold two public meetings today

Date:

Wayanad Member of Parliament (MP) and former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will hold two public meetings ahead of Assembly polls in Maharashtra on Tuesday.

Rahul is scheduled to conduct rallies at Wani Vidha Sabha of Yavatmal district and Arvi Vidhan Sabha of Wardha district at 1 pm and 3:40 pm respectively.

The Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) are contesting polls together in Maharashtra.

In their manifesto for the Assembly polls, the Congress-NCP alliance has promised to reduce penalty under Motor Vehicles Act (MVA) along with immediate farm loan waiver and zero-interest loan for higher education to students.

Their manifesto further speaks of work to deal with weather change. The other important promises include a 100 percent subsidy for drip irrigation, minimum support price (MSP) for dairy farm products based on the production cost to increase farmers’ earnings.

The two parties, which have combined to take on the force of BJP-Shiv Sena party, have also pledged to establish laws to reserve 80 percent jobs for locals in new enterprises. They have also decided to give a free laptop to 10 lakh girls who clear SSC examination.

On October 13, the Gandhi scion had held two rallies in Mumbai — one for Chandiwali candidate Naseem Khan and the other rally was for Dharavi Candidate Varsha Gaikwad, daughter of (MRCC) acting President Ekanath Gaikwad.

In these rallies, Congress leaders Sanjay Nirupam and Milind Deora were not present, giving a hint of internal conflict within the party.

Single-phase polls in Maharashtra will be held on October 21 and results are scheduled to be announced on October 24.
