Speaking to reporters, party’s Rajasthan in-charge Ajay Maken said that whether Congress president Sonia Gandhi will also join the rally will be known on Sunday itself.

Senior Congress leader Randeep Surjewala dubbed the rally as “great war against inflation,”. “It will be a decisive fight against the Modi government, which is driven by overweening arrogance of power and is in deep slumber,” he said on Saturday.

“The echo of the rally will be heard in the entire country,” he added.

Surjewala also slammed the BJP government at the Centre and said “every decision of the Modi government is anti-people.” “Small and medium industries collapsed. Neither Naxalism, terrorism ended nor black currency was eliminated, the unemployment rate in the country is 10 per cent. Defeat Modi and BJP to get rid of rising inflation,” he added.

According to reports, the rally was planned to be held in Delhi but was later moved to Rajasthan after the central government denied permission.
