Chandigarh : Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi would visit the city on October 16 where among other functions he would be addressing state party leaders and workers over infighting and indiscipline issues.
Different factions within the party would have to attend Rahul's function. This would be probably first time when the warring Partap Singh Bajwa and Capt Amarinder Singh groups would come on a single platform.
Sources said the meeting said both Capt Amarinder Singh, Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha and Partap Singh Bajwa, Punjab Congress president, had already aired their grievances to Rahul in separate meetings. Both have gone on record saying they have highlighted their issues before the party vice-president.
Rahul would be visiting the state the first time after the party suffered a debacle in the Lok Sabha elections and immediately after the Haryana Lok Sabha elections.
Congress sources said Rahul would address student leaders of National Students Union of India at Panjab University. Sources said Rahul was pleased at the success of the party’s student wing.
