Congress president Rahul Gandhi is likely to address two rallies in Tamil Nadu in February and AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will take part in one of them, newly appointed TNCC president K.S. Alagiri said.
Mr. Alagiri and his team of working presidents called on DMK president M.K. Stalin and senior leaders of the party at Anna Arivalayam on Wednesday.
“Rahul Gandhi will take part in two meetings in February. Priyanka Gandhi will take part in one of them,” Mr. Alagiri told reporters after the meeting with Mr. Stalin, which he described as a courtesy call.
The public meetings are likely to assume significance as top leaders of the BJP are set to hold meetings with their party cadre in the State, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi expected to address at least two meetings in Tamil Nadu this month. With speculation on an alliance between the BJP and the AIADMK gaining traction, the State Congress has been insisting that the DMK-Congress alliance include others to sweep the State and the lone seat in Puducherry, TNCC sources said.
