With the tinkling of the bell to make the position firm in the next general election, the Congress is all set to kick-start its election campaign holding a Kisan rally on Sunday.
The rally will be held at Ram Lila Ground in Delhi, which is expected to be attended by around five lakh farmers from nearby states.
In the rally, the Congress will seek to highlight the loan waiver of farmers of Rs. 60,000 crore, announced by the Finance Minister P Chidambaram during the recent Union Budget. Focus would also be on other benefits doled out by the UPA government.
A meeting of PCC chiefs and CLP leaders has been called on March 10 to decide upon state-level conventions and rallies to reach out to the people, especially farmers.
