Punjab polls prep: Congress plans major rally for Priyanka Gandhi in Ludhiana

The Congress party has stepped up its activities ahead of the 2027 Punjab assembly elections. Following the rally in Sangrur, groundwork is now being laid to bring Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to the state.

Discussions are underway to hold a major political rally by her in the industrial city of Ludhiana. The exact dates and schedule of this visit will be finalized only after Diwali.

Earlier on November 4, an 'Insaaf Rally' was held under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi in Faguwala village of Sangrur district. Following the response received at that gathering, the Congress wants to further expand its political influence in the state.

The central leadership plans to have prominent national-level leaders continuously visit Punjab until the upcoming elections. This move aims to not only heat up the election atmosphere but also infuse new enthusiasm among the party's grassroots workers and organizational structure.
