Kanhaiya Kumar will address Congress rally in Pune tomorrow

On Thursday, Congress
leader Kanhaiya Kumar will speak to members of the party’s Pune unit at
Congress Bhavan as part of the 17th Seva-Kartavya-Tyag week’s valedictory
celebration. Nana Patole, the state Congress president, will be in attendance,
as will revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat and another Maharashtra minister,
Amit Deshmukh.
“The city unit of Congress is preparing for the
forthcoming elections to the Pune Municipal Corporation. A lot of functions are
being organized to encourage party workers ahead of the civic polls. There will
be a rally at Congress Bhavan on December 9, and firebrand leader Kanhaiya
Kumar will address workers,” said senior Congress leader Mohan Joshi.
Joshi went on to say that Congress has yet to make a decision on forming a pre-election coalition for the municipal polls. “The city unit will hold discussions with local leaders and provide inputs to state leaders to take a decision on pre-poll alliances. We will accept and abide by the decision taken by the local leaders,” he said.
According to party leaders, Kanhaiya Kumar would speak on the topic “Save
Democracy, Save Country.”
The Congress, which dominated PMC from 1997 to 2007, now has only nine members in the civic body and is working hard to reclaim lost ground.
