Notably, Shettar joined Congress last month after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) denied him a ticket and instead fielded Mahesh Tenginkai from the seat.
Moreover, Gandhi would hold the rally the same day Prime Minister Narendra Modi would hold a massive roadshow in Bengaluru.
The last day of campaigning is May 8, while the counting of votes will take place on May 13.
