1,000 Autos to Welcome Rahul Gandhi in Mumbai: Sanjay Nirupam

One thousand auto-rickshaws will welcome Congress President Rahul Gandhi on his day-long visit to Mumbai on Tuesday, 12 June, party leader Sanjay Nirupam said today (10 June).

Almost a thousand auto-rickshaw drivers have decided to welcome Rahul ji to the city in their vehicles. This is the love the common man feels for our party president.

Nirupam said in a statement in Mumbai

"Rahul ji ensures that the common man's opinions, grievances and inputs not only reach him, but are also responded to. And this is the way the common man has decided to welcome him," the city Congress chief added.

Gandhi will be in Bhiwandi near Mumbai to attend a court hearing in a defamation case filed against him. Later in the day he will address booth-level workers as part of 'Project Shakti', which aims to empower ground-level workers of the Congress party and facilitate two-way communication between the party workers and the central leadership.
