Rahul Gandhi Bihar Visit: Former Congress President and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, is scheduled to visit Bihar again. On June 6th, he will participate in an Extremely Backward Castes (EBC) conference in Rajgir, Nalanda district. This will be his fifth visit to Bihar this year, following previous trips in January, February, April, and May. These frequent visits are widely seen as preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections later this year.
Rahul Gandhi to Participate in EBC Conference on June 6th
Senior Congress leaders have confirmed that Rahul Gandhi will address the EBC conference in Rajgir on June 6th. Organized by the state Congress leadership, the event is expected to see significant participation from EBC and Other Backward Castes (OBC) communities in Nalanda and surrounding districts.
The Congress party believes these castes will play a crucial role in the Bihar elections. Therefore, the party has specifically planned this conference to engage with them. Initially scheduled for May 27th, the conference was postponed and will now take place on June 6th, with Rahul Gandhi as the chief speaker.
Rahul Gandhi's Fifth Bihar Visit This Year
This will be Rahul Gandhi's fifth visit to Bihar in 2024. His previous visits occurred in January, February, April, and May. During his May visit to Darbhanga, his program faced controversy.
The aim of these visits is to strengthen the Congress party's grassroots presence and boost the morale of its workers. Congress believes Rahul Gandhi's active involvement is crucial for improving the party's position in Bihar.
Controversy Surrounding Rahul Gandhi's Darbhanga Visit
Rahul Gandhi's previous Bihar visit to Darbhanga sparked controversy due to the lack of administrative permission for the event. Consequently, a First Information Report (FIR) was filed against the organizers.
Despite this controversy, Rahul Gandhi attempted to make his visit a success and interacted with party workers. This incident highlighted his seriousness regarding Bihar's political landscape.
Congress's Preparations for Bihar Elections in Full Swing
The Congress party is striving to strengthen its hold in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. The party is continuously campaigning to reach every district, block, and panchayat level in the state. Rahul Gandhi's visits are a part of this strategy.
Congress leaders believe Rahul Gandhi's presence boosts workers' enthusiasm and helps disseminate the party's message to the public. The party aims for a significant victory in this election. However, the number of seats Congress will contest will be decided after a meeting of the Grand Alliance.
Congress's Strategy within the Grand Alliance
In Bihar, Congress is a key component of the Grand Alliance, which includes the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Left parties, and other smaller parties. Discussions regarding seat-sharing and electoral strategy are underway within the alliance. Congress hopes to achieve better results in Bihar through this coalition.
