SHOCKING: Congress to launch statewide samaragni yatra - What They Never Told You

Seemingly seeking to mount a political counter to the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s Navakerala Sadas, the Congress party is set to launch ‘Samaragni’, a 20-day State-wide yatra from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram from February 9. Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran, MP, and Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan will lead the yatra which is also aimed at revitalising the party organisation and energising the grassroots-level party workers ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Bread and butter issues

Around 30 public meetings with mass participation are planned during ‘Samaragni’, which has a stated intention of highlighting the ‘anti-people policies’ of the Union and State governments.
