Assembly polls: Rahul to visit HP next week

Shimla: Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi will be in Shimla on a two-day visit to Himachal Pradesh beginning June 27 during which he will hold meetings with party leaders and workers.

Rahul will reach Kullu on June 27 and hold discussions with Congress workers. He will fly to Shimla the next day to participate in similar meetings, party sources said.
The visit assumes significance in view of the upcoming Assembly polls in the hill state and the factionalism in the Congress.

Incidentally, supporters of Union Minister VB Singh are planning to hold a mega function in Shimla on June 23 on his 78th birth anniversary.
