Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Sunday said it was an important and happy day for the Congress Party as their vice president Rahul Gandhi would make his first address to voters in the national capital ahead of polls.
"It is an important day for us. It is a happy day for us that Rahul ji will address a huge gathering today in which he will give a message to the Delhi voters," Dikshit said.
Dikshit also reiterated that it is not in her part practice to announce their Prime Ministerial candidate prior to polls, and said her party would maintain this tradition with regard to the 2014 General Elections.
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will address a party rally in Mangolpuri in northwest Delhi later today.
All senior Delhi Congress leaders, including Members of Parliament, are expected to attend the event.
