New Delhi, June 8: Congress President Rahul Gandhi will address a national convention of the party's Other Backward Classes department here on Monday.

Gandhi's speech at the Talkatora Stadium at 11 a.m. on Monday is aimed to woo the Other Backward Classes in the country ahead of the 2019 general elections.

It comes after the Congress chief addressed a farmers' rally in Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh on June 6, where he promised to waive loans to farmers within 10 days in case his party returned to power in the state.

Pune, Nov 16: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis continued to raise the pitch on "vote jihad" by playing a video of Islamic scholar Sajjad Nomani at a poll rally in Pune's Bhosari area on Saturday.

It is being said that a person who votes for the BJP must be ostracised, Fadnavis claimed.

"If these people are trying to do vote jihad, if they are saying they will destabilise the government through vote jihad, then you will also have to do dharmayudh of votes," Fadnavis said.

"If these people dream that they will come to power with the help of votes from one community in the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, then you will also have to come to the battlefield," he said in a swipe at the MVA.
