Back Madhya Pradesh Polls: Priyanka Gandhi to address public rally in Jabalpur today
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will kick start the Congress's campaign for the year-end Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls from Jabalpur today i.e. on 12 June.Speaking of her today's schedule, Jabalpur mayor and Congress' city chief Jagat Bahadur Singh told PTI that "Priyanka ji will launch the party's campaign and Sankalp 2023 by addressing a public meeting on Saturday at Shahid Smarak at around 11.15 am. She will land in Jabalpur at around 10:30 am and head to Gwarighat to pray to Narmada river." En route to the rally venue eight kilometres away, she will garland a statue of Rani Durgavati, who attained martyrdom fighting the Mughals, he said, adding the rally will be attended by at least two lakh persons.Jabalpur is at the centre of the state's Mahakoshal region, which has a sizable number of tribal voters. Earlier in 2018 polls, the Congress had won 11 of the 13 Scheduled Tribe reserved seats in the eight-district division, with the remaining two bagged by the Bharatiya Janata Party."People in Mahakoshal area or Jabalpur division having eight districts feel neglected by the BJP. We did well (last time) in the area. This time around we are going to sweep the polls," Singh claimed.
