Summary:
That the Congress is slow to take off is also clear as there is no plan yet announced for Vidarbha, once its citadel but now totally dominated by the BJP-Sena. Nagpur: The Congress has finally announced that it would be launching its Lok Sabha election campaign along with NCP and some allies like Jogendra Kawade on February 20 at a public rally in Nanded. By 2.02pm, a correction was issued that the rally was on February 20 and not March. The Congress release said NCP stalwarts led by Sharad Pawar and top Congress leaders led by AICC in-charge of state Mallikarjun Kharge will be present at the rally to be held in state Congress president Ashok Chavan’s backyard.In the 2014 elections, Nanded and Hingoli were the only two seats that the Congress could win while the NCP failed to even open the account, crushed by the Narendra Modi wave. The initial hopes of roping in Mayawati-led BSP or even the Ambedkar-led Vanchit Aghadi have disappeared.After Nanded, the Cong-NCP campaign will move further with NCP leader Dhananjay Munde offering to host a rally in his home turf of Parli on February 23..
