Congress to begin Jan Aakrosh rally in Capital from April 29

Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, the Congress is all set to launch the Jan Aakrosh (Anger) Rally on April 29. It will be the maiden rally of Rahul Gandhi after he elevated to the position of the party president.

After the successful launch of "Save the Constitution" campaign at Delhi's Talkatora Stadium where Rahul Gandhi's fiery speech had shaken Prime Minister Narendra Modi to lash out at him, the Congress has huge hopes from the Jana Aakrosh rally.

"People in every state of India, especially in BJP ruled states, are reeling under an exploitative regime. The Modi government is not bothered about the agricultural distress, rising unemployment, increasing number of rapes, farmers suicides and still want to fool people through well crafted jumlas. Thousands of party workers will express their Aakrosh (anger) against these very anti-people policies of the Modi government," said Congress spokesperson P L Punia.

The new organising general secretary, Ashok Gehlot, who is pushing for structural changes in the party, is determined to turn the rally into a grand success. In a letter addressed to office-holders in the party, Gehlot has asked them to mobilise party workers and ensure maximum participation at the national-level rally.
