November 15th, 2010 - 2:37 pm ICT by IANS
Patna, Nov 15 (IANS) Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son, party general secretary Rahul Gandhi, will campaign in Bihar this week for the last round of the six phase assembly polls, party leaders said Monday.
Sonia Gandhi will campaign Wednesday ahead of the last phase Nov 20 for 26 seats. She will address rallies in Buxar and Bhabua constituencies.
Rahul Gandhi will campaign Thursday. He is slated to address two or three rallies in the constituencies going to the polls.
Congress state spokesperson Prem Chand Mishra told IANS that the venues for Rahul Gandhi’s public meetings were yet to be decided. He has campaigned in all the five phases of the polls held so far.
Sonia Gandhi had addressed rallies Oct 19 and Oct 28.
Congress leaders said there was no plan for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to visit the state for campaigning. Manmohan Singh had campaigned ahead of the first phase of polls Oct 21.
The Congress is contesting all the 243 seats in the state and making efforts to regain lost ground. It is hopeful of making a dent in the support base of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad.
