Shimla: Congress general secretary and MP Rahul Gandhi will visit Himachal Pradesh Oct 13 to mobilise the youth for the party, state party chief Kaul Singh Thakur said Friday.
“Rahul Gandhi will visit Shimla and Dharamsala Oct 13. During his visit, he will also interact with students from Himachal Pradesh University in Shimla,” Thakur told IANS.
“The interaction programme at Dharamsala is yet to be finalised,” he said.
According to him, Gandhi would also interact with the youth in Chandigarh before coming to Shimla.
Sources in the party said the aim of Gandhi’s visit to the university was to strengthen the state unit of the National Students Union of India (NSUI), which has been marginalised over the years.
Gandhi has been criss-crossing the country in his bid to mobilise youth for the party and its youth wings. Last week he was in Tripura and in Kerala to interact with youngsters.
