Rahul Gandhi to visit Rajasthan on July 16

Jaipur: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi will be on a two-day visit to Rajasthan starting from July 16.

Gandhi will hold a "padyatra" at Hanumangarh on the first day of his visit and interact with people there, Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee (RPCC) President Sachin Pilot said.

Pilot informed this on Friday while interacting with media after coming out of Raj Bhawan where the party submitted a memorandum on Raje-LaMo row to the Governor.

On July 17, Gandhi will address a conference of party functionaries of state, districts and panchayats at Birla Auditorium in Jaipur, he said.

Gandhi will also interact with common men during his visit, Pilot said, adding, people of Rajasthan were victim of BJP's misrule and they want respite.

Party workers are anxiously waiting for Rahul as they are eager to expose Raje's misgivings and failures before him, Pilot said.

A detailed programme of Gandhi's visit will be known after SPG's clearance, he said.
