Congress CWC in Patna Sets Bihar Poll Strategy, Labels SIR 'Vote Theft'

Congress used the Patna session to lock in a Bihar strategy centred on 'vote chori' claims.

Overview

  • CWC passed political resolutions that call the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision the greatest threat to democracy and accuse the BJP of weakening institutions through political misuse of agencies.
  • Rahul Gandhi and allies unveiled a 10‑point Ati Pichhda Nyay Sankalp for Extremely Backward Classes, including a proposed EBC Atrocities law and higher local-body quotas.
  • Mallikarjun Kharge said Bihar polls would start the end of the Modi government’s 'corrupt rule' and claimed the BJP has 'mentally retired' Nitish Kumar, calling him a liability.
  • The BJP hit back with seat‑sharing jibes and sharp counters from leaders such as Ravi Shankar Prasad, dismissing the Patna meeting as political theatre.
  • The meeting at Patna’s Sadaqat Ashram marked the first CWC in Bihar since Independence with roughly 170 leaders present, setting the Congress playbook weeks before expected Oct–Nov election dates.
