Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the Congress party, might not attend the Gandhi Bharat event happening in Belagavi on Tuesday because he is feeling sick, according to sources. Karnataka’s Home Minister G Parameshwara reported that the rest of the Congress leaders will be there for the event, which is starting soon.
Other key figures expected to attend include Mallikarjun Kharge and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. During the event, a statue of Mahatma Gandhi will be unveiled at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha, and a public meeting will take place at CPED grounds.
This Gandhi Bharat event celebrates 100 years since Mahatma Gandhi led a Congress meeting in Belagavi in 1924. The event was supposed to happen on December 27 last year but was pushed back because former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh passed away. The theme of the event is “Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan,” focusing on Gandhian ideals and the Constitution.
Lots of security measures are being prepared because important guests will be coming to the city.
