New delhi sources stated that Former congress President rahul gandhi on monday left for abroad, days ahead of his party's planned protests against the Central government on the economic slowdown in the country. Reportedly the congress leader's visit is scheduled for a week and he will come back to india in the first week of november and will join the protest then. Meanwhile the congress will hold 35 press conferences between november 1 and 8, and will also hold protests from november 5 to 15 to highlight the country's current economic situation.
Furthermore senior party leaders will address these press conferences from november 5 to 15 from district to state level and a major show has been planned in delhi where other opposition parties have also been invited. Perhaps All india congress Committee (AICC) general secretary KC Venugopal in a statement, on october 23, had said that protests would be organized in districts and state capitals, which would be culminating in a massive program in the national capital.
The statement read "It may be recalled that the decision in this regard was taken at the meeting headed by congress president sonia gandhi with senior leaders, party office bearers and Incharges, congress CMs and PCC presidents and CLP leaders on 12/13 september, but the earlier schedule of the programme slated between october 15 to october 25 had to be postponed because of the just-concluded assembly elections".
