- Party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and chief ministers of Congress‑ruled states are slated to attend along with other invitees.
- Deliberations will center on the Bihar election plan and a forceful message on alleged ‘vote chori’, with criticism of the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
- The Election Commission has rejected Congress’s vote‑manipulation allegations as “incorrect and baseless,” even as the party pursues a national campaign on the issue.
