Congress Opens Extended CWC in Patna, Centers Agenda on 'Vote Chori' and Bihar Poll Plan

Party leaders aim to formalize a response to alleged voter roll deletions to sharpen their Bihar election playbook.

Overview

  • Proceedings began at Sadaqat Ashram with Mallikarjun Kharge hoisting the flag, as Rahul Gandhi and other senior leaders gathered for the meeting.
  • The extended session is expected to pass resolutions on the alleged voter deletion drive and to shape campaign strategy and INDIA bloc coordination for the state polls.
  • Congress general secretary Ghulam Ahmad Mir alleged that 65 lakh names were removed from Bihar’s rolls, a charge the Election Commission has previously called incorrect and baseless.
  • Leaders signaled discussions on broader issues, with Bihar Congress citing planned deliberations on President Trump’s tariffs on Indian goods and a proposed $100,000 H‑1B visa fee.
  • The party is highlighting the venue’s legacy—its first CWC in Bihar since Independence—and is elevating migration, unemployment and law and order as core voter concerns.
