After campaigns in Jammu & Kashmir and Haryana, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, is set to intensify his campaign in Maharashtra, focusing on issues of reservation and the Constitution. Gandhi will visit Kolhapur on October 4 and 5, where his itinerary includes the inauguration of a life-size statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the Kasba Bavda area and participation in a conference centered on the Indian Constitution.

Congress MLC Satej Patil announced, “Rahul Gandhi will arrive in Kolhapur on October 4 and stay overnight. We urge people from across the district to join the event.”
