During his visit the Congress leader is scheduled to give direction to the party functionaries with a view of strengthening the party at grass root level. He will also be exploring potential future political pathways and opportunities for strengthening worker-coordination with leadership.

Party leaders have said that the training camp is an important one to improve the skill and efficiency of workers and preparedness for elections. The programme aims to strengthen the organizational setup and party cadres’ confidence going forward for future elections.

The visit of Rahul Gandhi is keeping many in the political circles abuzz as both the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress engage in a race to gear up for the fierce electoral fight in the state and on the national front.
