Overview
- Top leaders met at Indira Bhawan with Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and chief ministers Siddaramaiah, Revanth Reddy and Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to shape the party’s response and 2026 poll plans.
- Kharge urged concrete plans for a countrywide campaign targeting the VB‑G RAM G Act that replaced MGNREGA, framing it as the party’s next organizing push.
- The new law guarantees 125 days of work but shifts funding to a 60:40 Centre‑state split, a change Congress argues will burden states and weaken the programme.
- Kharge called the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls a serious issue and a conspiracy to limit voter rights, signaling a parallel drive to safeguard inclusion on rolls.
- Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah attended the CWC while Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar was not invited, and party sources indicated the meeting would not formally take up any change of leadership in the state.
