New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi will undertake a whirlwind election tour of the country beginning on Tuesday from Wardha in Maharashtra, a place associated with Mahatma Gandhi.
After Wardha, he will move to Nanded, the home turf of Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan. Rajnandgaon and Korba in Chhattisgarh are the other places where Gandhi will address public meetings on the first day of his election campaign.
On April 1, the young leader will address rallies at Aurangabad and Buxar in Bihar and then Lohardaga and Hazaribagh in Jharkhand.
Party sources said that on an average, Gandhi will address four election meetings in a day and the process would gain momentum once the campaign gets into full flow.
The AICC General Secretary will file his nomination for the Amethi parliamentary constituency on April 4. Gandhi entered active politics in 2004 after the party nominated him from Amethi.
His father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and his uncle Sanjay Gandhi, father of BJP candidate Varun Gandhi, were also MPs from the Amethi seat.
