On Monday, Rahul Gandhi, a prominent Congress leader, arrived in Aizawl, the capital of Manipur, to conduct a campaign for the party's candidates in the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for November 7. He initiated a padayatra, or a walking campaign, in the northeastern state. Gandhi is expected to stay in Aizawl for two days. His journey to Aizawl began with a helicopter ride from Agartala, the capital of Tripura, as confirmed by Lalremruata Renthlei, the chairman of the Mizoram Congress media cell.

Gandhi embarked on a padayatra, marching from Chanmari junction to Raj Bhavan, covering a distance of approximately 4-5 kilometers. He also addressed a rally near the governor's residence. In the evening, he planned to engage with students. During his visit, Gandhi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing his astonishment at the PM and the Indian government's seemingly greater interest in the Israel-Hamas conflict compared to the situation in Manipur. He pointed out the ongoing violence and atrocities in Manipur, including murders, molestation of women, and harm to children.

Furthermore, Gandhi launched a strong criticism against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the central level, suggesting that demonetization and the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) were deliberate measures intended to harm small and medium-sized businesses in the country.
