Rahul will visit Madhya Pradesh, Chandigarh and Bihar from June 3 to June 6. He will first arrive in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, on Tuesday, where he will address party workers. Following this, he will travel to Chandigarh on June 4 to interact with party workers and hold a meeting with the Congress’ Haryana unit.

The meeting with Haryana leaders is significant as the party has yet to appoint a Leader of the Opposition in the state Assembly following its defeat in last year’s elections. The Congress won 37 seats in the 90-member Haryana Assembly. Sources say discussions are underway regarding potential changes in the state leadership.

On June 6, Rahul will visit poll-bound Bihar, where he will address party workers in Muzaffarpur and engage with economically backward class groups in Nalanda. This will mark his fifth visit to Bihar this year.
