Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, Lok Sabha MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and other top leaders of the party are present at the rally.

Congress workers in the audience raised posters reading: “We want Rahul Gandhi as INC President.” Party’s leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, in his address, also referred to the posters. “We can see the posters ‘want Rahul Gandhi as president’…” said Chowdhury.
