The Congress party will hold its 85th grand session from February 24 to 26 in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur under the theme of ‘Haath Se Haath Jodo’. Major party leaders along with some 15,000 delegates have formally started arriving in Chhatisgarh to communicate the strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well as forthcoming Assembly seats.
The party is each set to hail the sweats of Rahul Gandhi for the success story scripted through the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Party leaders are also anticipated to prompt him to lead the Lok Sabha 2024 battle. On the first day of the three- day session, the steering commission, which is playing the part of the Working Committee (the former bone was dissolved until a new CWC is formed), will meet at 10 am on Friday and decide on whether there will be choices to the top decision- making body or not, people familiar with the matter said. According to the people cited over, during the three- day session, the party will lay out a roadmap for the 2024 Lok Sabha and forging bean tie- ups with like- inclined parties to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be bandied.
While all eyes lie on the issues of this time’s grand sessions which will show the way for the General choices listed coming time, then it’s a fog to what had surfaced from the former five grand sessions of the Congress. A piecemeal from the party’s public chairman Mallikarjun Kharge, former chairpersons Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi will also attend the convention. The 82nd grand session of Congress held in January 2006 was also the first one for Rahul Gandhi as a party member and the demand for the addition of Rahul in the Congress Working Committee or his appointment as general clerk of the All Indian Congress Committee (AICC) was the highlight of the session held in Hyderabad.
Other important issues like coalition and alliances were also among the top conversations after the party came into power after eight long times.
