The Congress will launch its door-to-door voter outreach programme in Mumbai from August 19, a day ahead of the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, in order to prepare for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

The party had drawn a blank in the six LS seats in the metropolis in the 2014 general polls after having cornered a lion's share of five seats in the 2009 elections. The Congress' general secretary and Maharashtra in charge, Mallikarjun Kharge, during a visit to the city recently, had asked partymen to work towards winning all six LS seats.
