State unit marks Rahul Gandhi’s birthday
The Maharashtra Congress on Saturday decided to observe June 19 as ‘Resolve Day’ to mark the birthday of former party president and Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi. State Congress chief Nana Patole said he would ensure that it would emerge as the No. 1 party in the State in the next Assembly election. He said, “When I became State Congress president and met Sonia Gandhiji, she told me that Maharashtra has always been Congress’s turf and it should remain so. I promised her that I would bring back those days and started working with that aim from Day 1. We resolve to make Congress the No. 1 party in the State.” Mr. Patole was speaking at the inauguration of the refurbished Tilak Bhavan, the State party headquarters, in the presence of senior party leaders. Former Congress leader and BJP MLA Dr. Sunil Deshmukh rejoined the party on the occasion. The move is likely to boost the party’s electoral prospects, especially in Vidarbha.More Related News
