Kolkata: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi will visit Shantiniketan on Tuesday where he will pay homage to Rabindra Nath Tagore and meet students and teachers.
Rahul is on a three-day tour of West Bengal to familiarise himself with the ground situation and revitalise the party organisation ahead of Assembly elections in the state.
He will also tour Basirhat, Jalpaiguri, Kolkata and Asansol.
Youth Congress members from select parliamentary constituencies will also meet Rahul, who will choose the potential candidates for the upcoming organisational elections.
Earlier, differences between the Congress and its ally the Trinamool Congress came to the fore on Monday when the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee reacted sharply to the Trinamool leaders dubbing its state President Manas Bhunia as being "close to CPI(M) for political survival".
"The comments are in bad taste. There should be a lakshan rekha (line) in attacking an ally. At a time when Congress and Trinamool Congress are trying to unite under Mamata Banerjee's leadership in West Bengal, agents of CPI(M) are trying to break the alliance," PCC leader Sukhendu Sekhar Roy said in Kolkata.
He was reacting to Trinamool Congress leaders Somen Mitra and Subrata Mukherjee, who were earlier with the Congress, for their comment at the WBPCC chief's home turf at Sabong in West Midnapore district on Sunday.
