Congress Convenes First Bihar CWC Since 1940 in Patna, Centers Strategy on ‘Vote Chori’ Claims

The session signals a push to refine Bihar strategy, escalating a national campaign over alleged voter-roll deletions that the Election Commission disputes.

Overview

  • The meeting opened at Sadaqat Ashram with Mallikarjun Kharge hoisting the party flag as Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and roughly 170 leaders assembled.
  • In his opening remarks, Kharge attacked the BJP, questioned the Election Commission’s fairness and framed alleged deletions under the Special Intensive Revision as a threat to democratic rights.
  • The Election Commission has dismissed the opposition’s allegations as incorrect and baseless, asserting that roll revisions are conducted under established procedures.
  • Party leaders said the CWC would adopt resolutions to guide the Bihar campaign and take up national issues including inflation, unemployment and recent US tariff and H‑1B visa fee actions.
  • Seat-sharing talks within the INDIA bloc remain unresolved, with Rahul Gandhi scheduled to meet RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav in Patna later today to advance negotiations.
