Rahul to address rallies in Bengal today
New Delhi, Apr 27 (IBNS) Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi will be addressing rallies in three districts of West Bengal on Wednesday.
"In Bengal today. Will address rallies in Purba Medinipur, South 24 Parganas & Kolkata #INC4Bengal," Rahul tweeted.
His Kolkata rally assumes great significance as CPI(M) Polit Bureau member and former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is likely to share dais with the Gandhi scion in a show of Left-Congress solidarity against the Trinamool Congress rule.
This is for the first time that top leaders of both forces, which had for long been arch enemies in Indian politics, are going to speak from the same dais.
The Congress has formed a coalition with the Left in West Bengal to contest the ongoing Assembly Elections. The move has been taken in the face of a common political compulsion-to counter the might of the ruling Trinamool Congress-putting on the back seat the obligations elsewhere in the country, especially in Kerala, where the Left and the Congress are in bitter rivalry.
Voting for four out of the six phases is over and the fifth is scheduled for Apr 30.
