As part of the preparations, Congress General Secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal has convened an important meeting of senior Haryana Congress leaders on October 23 at Indira Bhawan in New Delhi.

Candidates who contested the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections on Congress tickets have also been asked to attend the meeting.
The meeting will discuss in detail measures to ensure maximum participation from Haryana in the rally, organisational coordination, public outreach campaigns, mobilisation of party workers, transportation and other necessary arrangements.

The rally will serve as an effort by opposition parties to demonstrate their unity.UNI XC AAB
