GUWAHATI: (Jul 16) Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi will be visiting Assam on Wednesday, during which they will interact with party functionaries in the state.

This will be the first visit of the party’s top leaders since Gaurav Gogoi took over as the state president, ahead of next year’s assembly election.

Kharge and Gandhi are scheduled to attend two meetings, including one at Chaygaon — about 40 km from Guwahati, during the day-long trip.
