PANAJI:Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram, the newly appointed All India Congress Committee (AICC) election observer in-charge of Goa, will arrive in the poll-bound state on a two-day visit from August 25-26 to oversee the preparations for the 2022 Assembly polls, said the Goa Congress on Saturday.
"P. Chidambaram will meet and discuss with various leaders and party functionaries during his two-day visit. He will interact with Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) office bearers, frontals, district and block presidents and take inputs to work out strategies for upcoming 2022 Goa Assembly elections, " the Goa Congress added.
This two-day official trip is the former Union Home Minister's first visit to Goa, since his appointment by the interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi to "oversee election strategies and co-ordination for Goa Assembly elections".
Chidambaram will be accompanied by AICC Goa in-charge, Dinesh Gundu Rao.
The polls to the state Assembly are scheduled to be held in early 2022.
