Rahul Gandhi is likely to reach Chharabara by 4 pm, the party office-bearer added.
“Sonia and Rahul Gandhi will stay at Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s cottage till 22 September and it is their personal visit, hence, they will not meet any state party office bearers,” he further stated.
It is worth mentioning here that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra along with her husband and children had arrived at Chharabara two days back and she along with mother Sonia Gandhi regularly visit the place which is located amidst the scenic beauty of deodar trees.
Priyanka’s cottage is located near the President of India’s official summer resort, The Retreat and the iconic hotel, Wildflower Hall.
Priyanka had bought the 4-bigha property in 2007 to build a cottage and it took almost 13 years to complete it.
