Rahul to visit Alang, Gir



Congress President Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to visit Gujarat for two days next week during which he will visit Alang Shipbreaking Yard that is facing an economic slump due to the weakening rupee. Later, he will pay a visit to the Gir Forest and interact with Maldharis.

Rahul is expected to witness a ship being broken and learn about the business and its ancillaries. He will talk to businessmen, contractors and workers and learn about their problems. At Gir, Rahul is expected to visit a settlement of Maldharis and talk about their coexistence with lions. He will also be having tea, breakfast or lunch with them.

Congress sources told Mirror, "Bhavnagar and Amreli are the political domain of Central ministers Mansukh Mandaviya and Purshottam Rupala and is of significance to the party. While Gir is of national importance, Alang has people from different states doing business and workers from places like Odissa, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand."
