Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi is likely to visit Bihar on July 15 as part of the party’s nationwide youth outreach campaign. According to party sources, Gandhi is expected to address a major student conference in Patna, where education, employment, paper leak allegations and recruitment-related issues will dominate the agenda. The Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee has intensified preparations, assigning responsibilities to district and block-level leaders to ensure large-scale participation by students, competitive exam aspirants and youth workers. Sources also indicate that Rahul Gandhi may hold a roadshow in Patna’s Musallahpur Haat, a prominent coaching hub, although the party has not officially confirmed the programme. The proposed event is part of the Congress campaign focusing on jobs, justice and accountability. Party leaders believe the conference will help strengthen the Congress organisation among Bihar’s youth ahead of the Assembly elections, while directly engaging with students on issues affecting their future.
