Gujarat: Rahul Gandhi to address a public rally on February 14

New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi is all set to address a public rally in Gujarat's Valsad district, on Thursday, ahead of upcoming Lok Sabha poll campaign.

The congress leader is reported to address a rally by the name of 'Jan Akrosh' at Laldungri village in Valsad.

During 2017 Assembly polls, Gandhi had held many rallies across the length and breadth of the state, since then it is his first visit there.

While the BJP returned to power in the state in 2017 by winning 99 seats in the 182-member Assembly, the Congress's graph also jumped from 60 to 77.

The Congress is also likely to organise its working committee meet, there, to boost its cadre before the Lok Sabha elections, a party source said.

The Congress, however, had drawn a blank in Gujarat in 2014 Lok Sabha elections when the BJP had won all 26 seats but secured 11 seats in the state in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls.
