A political row has intensified ahead of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s scheduled visit to Chaibasa on March 31, where he will address a party training programme. BJP leader Amar Kumar Bauri took a swipe at Gandhi, questioning his leadership credentials and stating that he himself needs training. He also alleged that Gandhi’s visit is linked to ongoing legal matters.

The Congress programme is part of a 10-day training camp aimed at strengthening the party’s organisational structure. It includes newly elected district presidents from Jharkhand and Odisha, focusing on leadership development and expansion strategies. The concluding session is expected to see participation from senior leaders, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, along with MPs and MLAs. The event is being viewed as a significant effort by the party to reinforce its grassroots presence ahead of upcoming political challenges.
