Rahul Gandhi to Address Odisha Youth in October

Bhubaneswar: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is likely to visit Odisha in October to attend the “Chhatron Ki Gunj” youth programme in Bhubaneswar.

The event, expected to draw nearly 20,000 young participants, will focus on Gen‑Z issues and aspirations.

As part of its strategy ahead of the Panchayat elections, the Congress has planned marathon programmes across the state.

A padayatra will begin from Nabarangapur on October 2, involving party workers and monitored by committees.

The Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, is scheduled to visit Odisha between January and February 2027 to intensify campaign efforts.

A major programme in Bhubaneswar will highlight youth‑related concerns and strengthen the party’s outreach in the state.
