Rahul Gandhi to address rallies in poll-bound Rajasthan today

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies in poll-bound Rajasthan today.

According to reports, Rahul will address rallies in Chittorgarh and Bikaner, ahead of the state Assembly elections set to be held on December 1.

Rahul had earlier addressed rallies in Rajasthan's Churu and Kherdali city.

Recalling the assassinations of his grandmother Indira Gandhi and his father Rajiv Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi had targetted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for playing divisive politics, and said he was not afraid if communal anger and hatred killed him someday.

“They (communal elements) have killed my grandmother, they have killed my father and maybe someday they will kill me as well. But I don’t care,” Gandhi said, while addressing a rally in Churu.

Linking his personal pain to his objection to the BJP’s indulgence in communal politics, Gandhi said that people don’t inherently have anger inside them, but political parties put it inside them.

“Political parties put anger into the people. It is the common man who suffers—who has to take this anger with them. That is why I am against BJP’s method of politics. For political benefit, the BJP harms people,” he said.

Rajasthan is expected to witness a fierce political battle between the Congress and the BJP in the upcoming polls.
