RAIPUR: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will visit Chhattisgarh on Friday to inaugurate the newly-built office of the party's state unit.

During the visit, Gandhi will also hold meetings with doctors, traders and senior journalists, a party office-bearer said.

The Congress president will arrive at Swami Vivekanand Airport here at around 2.20 pm and head to the party's newly-built state office 'Rajiv Bhawan' in Shankar Nagar area, state Congress general secretary Shailesh Nitin Trivedi said.

"During the inaugural ceremony, Gandhi will also flag off the Jungle Satyagraha campaign of Adivasi Congress in the state," he said.

He will later hold meetings with the groups of invited doctors, traders and senior journalists there, Trivedi added.

After taking part in a programme of senior Congress leaders, MLAs and chiefs of various wings of the party, he will leave for Delhi in the evening, Trivedi said.

Gandhi had visited poll-bound Chhattisgarh in May this year, during which he had taken part in several programmes apart from holding a mega road-show from Durg to Raipur. Assembly polls are due in Chhattisgarh later this year.
