New Delhi, July 1 (IANS) Ahead of the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections early 2013, Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi will review the party’s preparedness with state leaders July 2-3 in Kullu district, said a release here Sunday.
According to the release from Gandhi’s office, he will meet district and block level committee heads of the Himachal Pradesh Congress Monday.
This meeting will be followed up with an interaction with the elected office-bearers of the party’s students wing, National Students Union of India (NSUI), and opening of a two-day NSUI training programme for all the blocks in the state.
Late Monday afternoon, Gandhi will hold consultations with senior party leaders including Himachal Congress Committee office-bearers, legislators, parliament members, and will review preparedness for the electoral battle slated for February next year.
On Tuesday, the Congress general secretary will meet the office-bearers of the Indian Youth Congress who have been elected to the state assembly and the Lok Sabha.

Last week, Virbhadra Singh, a former chief minister and senior Congress leader from the hill state, resigned from the union cabinet after a Shimla court framed corruption charges against him and his wife Pratibha Singh.
Singh blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government headed by Prem Kumar Dhumal for it and said he will fight both at the grassroots level and in the courts of law.
