Are the Congress members in Mumbai lacking the zeal or cash to take on the BJP-led central government? Sources hint at the latter, as merely 250 of the 1,500 party workers, who signed up for the ‘Mehangai Par Halla Bol’ rally led by Rahul Gandhi, actually took part.

The Congress had organised the rally in Delhi on Sunday, where Gandhi took on the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over inflation, “rising hatred”, etc. Sources in the party’s Mumbai unit told mid-day that most of the workers could not travel to Delhi because the local leadership did not book their rail tickets.
