Rahul Gandhi to address public meeting in Goa as Congress concludes outreach yatra on October 18

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to address a public meeting in Margao, Goa, on Sunday, concluding the party's 28-day-long outreach campaign, the Goy Rakhon Yatra. The yatra, which kicked off on September 22, has traversed all 40 assembly constituencies in the coastal state, highlighting concerns such as land conversion, unemployment, corruption, public safety, and the preservation of Goa's unique social and cultural identity.

Girish Chodankar, president of the Goa Pradesh Congress Committee, announced Gandhi's participation in the meeting, marking the campaign's conclusion. The Congress party has positioned the campaign as a movement to protect Goa's land, heritage, and environment, as they prepare for the 2027 assembly elections, aiming to bolster their grassroots support against the ruling BJP.
