Congress Convenes Sept. 24 Patna CWC to Address 'Vote Chori' and Bihar Poll Strategy

Party strategists cast the Patna meeting as a springboard for finalising the INDIA bloc equation.

Overview

  • An extended Congress Working Committee session will be held on September 24 at Sadaqat Ashram in Patna, the first CWC gathering there since 1940.
  • Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are slated to attend, with all CWC members invited and chief ministers from Congress-ruled states expected.
  • The agenda includes alleged vote theft tied to voter roll revisions, along with unemployment, inflation and crime, building on Rahul Gandhi’s recent 1,300-km Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar.
  • Congress leaders signal that seat-sharing within the INDIA bloc is close to closure, with announcements expected soon after the CWC deliberations.
  • Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is set to launch the party’s Bihar campaign with a September 26 rally in Motihari, as NDA leaders dismiss the CWC move as pressure politics.
