The Congress, for its part, is mobilizing for the INDIA bloc rally at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on the same day. Haryana Congress leaders have promised a very large turnout, and Deepender Hooda has said Haryana’s contingent should be the biggest when Rahul Gandhi speaks. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected in Haryana on 5 November.
