Rahul to hold public meetings, visit temple in poll-bound Karnataka

On day two of his three-day visit to poll-bound Karnataka, Congress President Rahul Gandhi will on Monday hold a series of public meetings and visit a temple, the party said.

In a tweet, the Congress said: “Congress President Rahul Gandhi will begin the third day… with a public meeting at Godachi temple ground in Ramdurg, Belgaum.”

He will then visit the Shri Yellamma Renuka Devi temple followed by another public meeting in Saundatti, both in Belgaum.

The Gandhi scion will conclude the day with another public meeting in the evening at Nehru Stadium in Hubli, Dharwad.

Rahul Gandhi is on a three-day visit to the state’s northern region since Saturday on the ‘Jan Ashirwada Yatra’ ahead of the state assembly election in late April or early May.

Rahul Gandhi had on Sunday flagged off a marathon to promote environment and ran with a few participants at the historic Gol Gumbaz monument in north Karnataka’s Vijayapura district.

Gandhi is on the second leg of the visit to the state this month after a four-day trip to the seven districts of the region earlier this month.
