Congress president Mrs Sonia Gandhi and her son, party general secretary Rahul Gandhi, will campaign in Bihar this week for the last round of the six phase Assembly polls, party leaders said on Monday.
Mrs Gandhi will campaign on Wednesday ahead of the last phase on November 20 for 26 seats. She will address rallies in Buxar and Bhabua constituencies. Mr Gandhi will campaign on Thursday. He is slated to address two or three rallies in the constituencies going to the polls.
Congress state spokesperson Prem Chand Mishra told IANS that the venues for Mr Gandhi's public meetings were yet to be decided. He has campaigned in all the five phases of the polls held so far. Mrs Gandhi had addressed rallies on October 19 and October 28.
Congress leaders said there was no plan for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to visit the state for campaigning. Dr Singh had campaigned ahead of the first phase of polls on October 21.
The Congress is contesting all the 243 seats in the state and making efforts to regain lost ground. It is hopeful of making a dent in the support base of chief minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad.
