Bhubaneswar: Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge are on a one-day visit to Odisha today on Friday. Both the leaders participated in the Save Constitution Rally organized in Bhubaneswar Baramunda.
Addressing the Samvidhaan Bachao rally in Bhubaneswar, Rahul Gandhi said that something new has started. More than 40,000 women have disappeared in Odisha. Till date it has not been known where these women have gone. Every day women are tortured here. They are raped. Every day 15 women are raped in Odisha. Your government only sucks your blood 24 hours a day, snatches your land.
He said that Adani runs the government of Odisha, Adani runs Narendra Modi. When the Jagannath Yatra takes place in Odisha, when the chariots of the Jagannath Yatra are pulled, lakhs of people watch it and follow it. Then, a drama takes place – the chariots are stopped for Adani and his family. This will make you understand everything about the Odisha government. This is not the Odisha government, it is the government of 5-6 billionaires like Adani. Its goal is to snatch away your land, forest and future.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said that I was in Bihar yesterday on Thursday. Just like the election was stolen in Maharashtra, a similar attempt is being made in Bihar. The Election Commission has hatched a new conspiracy to steal the election. The Election Commission is working as a branch of the BJP, it is not doing its job. 1 crore new voters were added in Maharashtra between the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. No one knows who these voters were and where they came from. We asked the Election Commission several times to provide voter lists and videography, but the Election Commission did not provide us with these. They are going to do the same theft in Bihar as was done in Maharashtra. I told the leaders of the Indian Alliance that we will not let the Election Commission and the BJP steal the Bihar elections.
At the Save Constitution rally, Rahul Gandhi said that the Odisha government has only one job – to steal the wealth of Odisha from the hands of the poor people of the state. Earlier the BJD government did this and now the BJP government is doing the same. On one side are the poor people of Odisha, Dalits, tribals, backward classes, farmers and laborers, and on the other side are 5-6 billionaires and the BJP government. This fight continues. Only Congress workers, along with the people of Odisha, can win this fight, no one else.
Before this, the party has made all the preparations for the visit of Rahul and Kharge. The Congress camp is very excited about their visit. Let us tell you, this is Rahul Gandhi’s first visit to Odisha after the assembly elections. The traffic system is in place for this. Party workers have started gathering for the Save Constitution rally. At the same time, it has also been learned that both the leaders will participate in many programs apart from this Save Constitution rally.
Thousands of Congress workers will attend this meeting. Meanwhile, tremendous enthusiasm is being seen among Congress workers due to Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Odisha after a long time. Organization General Secretary Venugopal will also join the Congress’ ‘Samvidhan Bachao’ Maha Rally. Meanwhile, in view of Rahul Gandhi’s Odisha visit, Bhubaneswar Commissionerate Police has also issued an advisory to control the crowd and make the traffic system smooth.
Before addressing the rally, both the leaders will also do a road show from Airport Chowk to Jaydev Bihar in Bhubaneswar. It is learned that Rahul Gandhi will reach Bhubaneswar Airport at 11 am. After that he will go from the airport to Baramunda Square. Congress workers will welcome Rahul Gandhi at various intersections on the way. He will join the Constitution Bachao Rally in Baramunda at 12 noon.
After the meeting, Rahul Gandhi and Kharge will meet two delegations of farmers. This meeting will be held at Congress Bhawan at 3 pm. Rahul and AICC President will first hold a meeting with the Political Affairs Committee. After this, they will discuss with MLAs and state Congress workers.
