BR Patil hopes B'gavi event revives Cong back to old glory
BELAGAVI has spruced itself up to the big-ticket, much-hyped event of Congress - Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan which will be attended by top party leaders, including Members of Parliament Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
The programme will be held at CPEd Ground on Tuesday to mark 100 years of the historic 1924 Congress session, which was presided over by Mahatma Gandhiji at Tilakwadi, Belagavi.
Briefing the media here on Monday, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, also KPCC president, said that at least 60 top Congress leaders from different parts of the country, including 20 Congress Working Committee members, PCC presidents and MPs, will be present on the dais.
He said Priyanka Gandhi has already confirmed her participation and will arrive in Belagavi on Tuesday morning.
All MLAs and MLCs in the state too will attend the programme, he added.
"The objective of the event is to spread the message and words of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr BR Ambedkar. Besides, this is a movement to safeguard the Constitution. The great contributions of Ambedkar and Gandhi and their role in building the nation will be remembered and the entire event is being held in their memory," he added.
