A camp booth will be set up for Rahul Gandhi and others who are participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra. “So the process of campaigning for these candidates starts from Saturday onwards, officially, although they have already started the campaign earlier, because, I mean, they seem to have decided not to withdraw from the contest. Technically, according to the constitution, we have to provide them with a seven day withdrawal period.”┬аCongress President Election 2022: Mallikarjun Kharge Vows 50 Percent of Party Posts for Youngsters As per Udaipur Declaration.
