On January 11, Yadav will have a one-on-one meeting in the morning with all the district presidents of the party in Punjab.
Later, he will meet office-bearers of all ancillary cells of the Congress party. In the evening, he will again meet Congress leaders and party workers.
Sources say, Yadav is here to ascertain how well placed the party is to go all alone in the LS polls, and if not so, which are the seats they should stake claim to fight elections in case of an alliance with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the state.
Sources say that the Congress wants to retain the seats of at least six sitting MPs.
