The Indira Gandhi Bhawan at 9A Kotla Road was inaugurated by Sonia Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, marking a historic shift for the 139-year-old party.

  • The Congress Party officially moved its central office to the newly constructed Indira Gandhi Bhawan on January 15, 2025, after operating from 24 Akbar Road for 47 years.
  • Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Rahul Gandhi led the inauguration ceremony, which included a ribbon-cutting, lamp-lighting, and speeches by senior leaders.
  • The new five-story building features modern facilities and designated spaces for key leaders, including offices for Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Rahul Gandhi on the fifth floor.
  • Approximately 400 senior Congress leaders, including CWC members, PCC Presidents, and former Union Ministers, attended the event, highlighting its significance in the party's history.
  • A minor controversy arose as posters referring to the building as 'Sardar Manmohan Singh Bhawan' were spotted, speculated to be a tribute to the late former Prime Minister.
