Bangalore: Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, will visit to Karnataka on Thursday to attend a religious celebration in Tumakuru and meet with party officials.

Rahul Gandhi will attend the 115th birth anniversary celebrations of Lingayat seer Late Dr Shivakumar Swamiji of Siddaganga Mutt in Tumkur, said the state party president D.K. Shivakumar.

He will attend a meeting of Congress leaders from the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) jurisdiction after the programme. In addition, he will have a Zoom meeting with legislators, former MLAs, and unsuccessful candidates.

In order to speed up the membership drive, the senior leader will meet and connect with the party's high achievers. In response to the likelihood of early elections, he stated that the Congress party is prepared to have elections whenever they are held. "Whether it's November 27th, April 27th, or June 27th, we're ready," he remarked.

Muslim merchants should not be bothered at religious fairs, Shivakumar said. In response to the debate surrounding Mysuru King Tippu Sultan's title of "Lion of Mysuru," he said that BJP representatives should go to the London Library in the United Kingdom, as the title is not granted by the Congress party, but by Britishers.

The Congress is no stranger to Hindutva. "Rahul Gandhi remarked at the Jaipur convention and Parliament that we are all Hindus. It is not healthy to divide a community along religious and caste lines "he stated
