New Delhi, March 22 -- Congress President Rahul Gandhi is likely to give a big push to his party's Lok Sabha campaign when he addresses his first-ever public rally in this small census town of Malda district in West Bengal on Saturday.

He is expected to up his ante against the "corruption and misgovernance" of the Narendra Modi regime at the Centre and speak about the necessity of a Congress-led government in the country, party sources said.

Gandhi, who is coming to Bengal for the first time in 2019, will address what the party expects to be a large gathering at Kolom Bagan ground. The area comes under Malda North Lok Sabha constituency, a traditional Congress bastion.

He is expected to reach the rally ground at around 3 p.m.
