The Assam Congress is all set to host party president Rahul Gandhi’s first visit here on Tuesday before the Lok Sabha elections.

Mini-trucks are making rounds in the city playing peppy election songs and booth-level workers from all the districts are arriving at the Assam PCC headquarters at Rajiv Bhawan to welcome Rahul with a hope that he would bring a “wind of change”.

Assam PCC president Ripun Bora on Monday morning flagged off a Prachar Yatra in which at least three mini trucks with banners of the party president’s picture and the party’s election songs — two numbers released by Assam PCC last week — set out from Rajiv Bhawan and made rounds of the city inviting people to participate in the mega rally which Rahul will address on Tuesday.

“The leader who stood firm and defeated the anti-constitutional Citizenship (Amendment) Bill will visit Guwahati and will talk on how the Congress can protect Assam from the BJP,” said the recorded invite that played in loop between the election songs in the min-trucks.

Rahul is credited by the Assam PCC leaders to mastermind the party’s strategy that “compelled” the BJP from not tabling the bill in the Rajya Sabha on the last day of Parliament of this government.

“Rahul Gandhi will bring a new wind of change for the people of Assam and the Northeast,” said AICC general secretary of Assam Harish Rawat. “Several workers from over 24,000 booths have already started coming. They have been invited by the local legislators of the party and the district presidents. By tonight, almost all of them will reach,” a party insider said.

Rahul will address a mass gathering of booth-level workers and other party supporters at Khanapara veterinary field here at 11am and then, at about 3pm, he will address back-to-back two meetings — the newly constituted North East Co-ordination Committee consisting of former chief ministers of the party in the Northeast along with PCC presidents of the northeastern states, including Sikkim, and the other with the district presidents from all the northeastern states. Party workers feel that Rahul’s visit will provide “new momentum” to its poll campaigns.
