Rahul Gandhi on Friday morning met Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot as he reached the Congress-ruled state after a train ride with other party colleagues. Ahead of a three-day ‘Chintan Shivir’ (brainstorming conclave) in Rajasthan, he received a warm welcome at 5 am at the Chittorgarh railway station where a large group of partymen amid cheers and tight security greeted him. The three-day conclave – said to be the party’s largest in recent times – is aimed at talks on organisational rejig and other national issues of concern, including those related to farmers and inflation. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra too reached Udaipur soon after Rahul’s arrival and Sonia Gandhi will be inaugurating the conclave on Friday afternoon.
On Friday morning, Gandhi was seen heading to the ‘Nav Sankalp Chintan Shivir – 2022’ with Gehlot, Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel and other Congress leaders in a bus. The video was shared by several party handles.
The mega conclave – being held in ‘the city of lakes’ Udaipur – adds to the series of discussions the party has been holding with an eye on the 2024 polls.
