Bijapur: UPA Chairperson and former Congress President Sonia Gandhi will address her first election rally in two years in Karnataka today. 

As indicated by the party statement, Sonia Gandhi will address an open gathering at BLD new campus ground in Bijapur.

Sonia Gandhi did not canvass in any of the state elections after she fell sick amid a road show in Varanasi on August 2, 2016. 

She had skipped campaigning in Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland elections. 

As Sonia Gandhi will campaign in Bijapur in north Karnataka, her son and Congress President Rahul Gandhi will battle in south Karnataka, amid his ninth visit to the state from May 7 to May 10. He is scheduled to visit Chikkaballapur and Tumkur districts today.
