Bengaluru: A day after former AICC President Rahul Gandhi arrived in poll-bound Karnataka, another star campaigner of the Congress Party, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will visit Mysuru and Chamarajanagar districts tomorrow (Tuesday).

According to available information, she will address a public meeting at Helavarahundi in T. Narasipur taluk of Mysuru district at noon. Then she will head towards Hanur in Chamarajanagar at 2:30 pm.

She will attend an interactive session at Gowrishankar Convention Hall in Hanur town. Later, Priyanka will interact with women between 3 pm and 4 pm. At 4:15 pm, she will leave for K.R. Nagar and participate in a roadshow for around 2 km from Topammana Temple at 5;30 pm. Then she will leave for Delhi on a special flight.

The Gandhis are doing their best to install a Congress government in the state. Rahul has been in the State on a two-day visit since Sunday. He visited Bagalkot district to see the aikya place of the 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and attended Basava Jayanti celebrations. On Monday, he participated in a couple of rallies in Dharwad district and returned to Delhi.

State Congress leaders have requested former AICC President Sonia Gandhi to address a couple of rallies in the next few days but there is no confirmation yet. She had come to Mysuru and Mandya during the ‘Bharat Jodo’ yatra with her son, Rahul, and walked for a few metres to boost the morale of workers.
