Congress MP Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies in support of I.N.D.I.A bloc candidates in Jharkhand on Tuesday. According to PTI, his first address will be at Tata College in Chaibasa, seeking votes for Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) candidate Joba Manjhi, who is contesting from the Singhbhum Lok Sabha seat.

Congress spokesperson Sonal Shanti told the news agency that the Chaibasa rally is scheduled for 11.30 am, while the second rally will be at Gumla's Basia around 2 pm, in support of Congress candidate Sukhdev Bhagat for Lohardaga Lok Sabha seat. 

Singhbhum and Lohardaga are scheduled for polls on May 13, along with Khunti and Palamu.

In Singhbhum, JMM's Joba Manjhi is up against Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Geeta Kora, who left the Congress recently. Meanwhile, in Lohardaga, Congress' Sukdhev Bhagat will contest against BJP's Samir Oraon.

During the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra', Rahul Gandhi stayed in Jharkhand for eight days in February.

Rahul Gandhi's MP Rally 

On Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the ongoing Lok Sabha election is aimed at saving the country's Constitution, which he claimed the BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) want to change.

He said this while addressing a public meeting at Jobat town in Alirajpur district under the Ratlam-Jhabua Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh. "This election is being held to save the country's Constitution. The BJP, RSS want to change it, but the Congress and the (opposition) INDIA alliance are trying to save it," Gandhi said.

He said the BJP gave the slogan of "400 paar" (aiming to win more than 400 Lok Sabha seats) for the NDA with the intention to change the Constitution.

"Leave alone 400 seats, the BJP will not get more than 150 seats this time," the Wayanad MP claimed.

The Congress has fielded former Union minister Kantilal Bhuria against BJP's Anita Nagar Chauhan from the tribal-dominated Ratlam-Jhabua seat where polling will be held on May 13.
