Congress is preparing for Rahul Gandhi's 'Insaaf Rally' in Sangrur on November 4, focusing on around 40 Assembly constituencies to mobilize support ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. Party leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and KC Venugopal, have met to strategize and emphasize issues like law and order, drug menace, and governance failures under the Aam Aadmi Party government. The rally aims to highlight these challenges and strengthen Congress's position against the ruling party in Punjab.
