Mumbai: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi will Wednesday launch his election campaign for the October 15 Maharashtra assembly elections here, a party official said.
He will start with a rally in the historic town of Mahad in Raigad district, and follow it up with a public meeting in Latur, Marathwada region.
Gandhi’s visit is significant for the Congress as he is the first central party leader to campaign for the crucial elections where the party is battling huge odds to bag power for the fourth consecutive term.
The Latur rally will be held in Ausa, in Marathwada region, an erstwhile Congress stronghold and home town of the late Vilasrao Deshmukh and former Lok Sabha Speaker Shivraj Patil.IANS
