Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi will visit Tamil Nadu before April 20 for campaigning, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president B. S. Gnanadesikan said on Wednesday.
He told journalists here that Ms. Gandhi would campaign in south Tamil Nadu, while Mr. Gandhi would visit the western part of the State.
He said the Congress’ election plank centred on development and the achievements of the Congress-led UPA in the past 10 years. Countering Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s statement that the Centre had betrayed Tamil Nadu, Mr. Gnanadesikan said the Centre had allocated crores of rupees to the State under different welfare schemes.
