Congress leaders are gearing up for a key meeting in Patna, Bihar, as they tackle pressing issues like migration and unemployment ahead of state elections. The Congress Working Committee (CWC) gathers on September 24 at the historic Sadaqat Ashram, a site with deep roots in India’s independence movement.
Shakeel Ahmad Khan, a prominent Congress leader from Bihar, highlighted the urgency of these topics during a chat with . “The CWC is meeting at this iconic spot, Sadaqat Ashram, which carries so much history,” Khan said. He pointed out how the current Bihar government has widened the gap between rich and poor, fueling massive migration from the state. “Unemployment and other Bihar problems will definitely spark debate,” he added. Khan noted it’s the first such gathering at the ashram since independence, underscoring its symbolic weight.
The session comes amid a nationwide pushback against alleged vote tampering in recent polls. Congress is running a signature campaign across India to rally support, and leaders expect Bihar’s upcoming elections to dominate talks, given the state’s political heat.
Earlier, Congress MP KC Venugopal echoed the focus on broader concerns. “We’re holding the CWC meeting in Patna regularly—it’s not just about elections,” he told . “We’ll dive into the national agitation over vote theft, the ongoing signature campaign, and plenty of other political matters. Of course, Bihar elections will come up too.”
Top party figures are set to join, including president Mallikarjun Kharge, Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Bihar state chief Rajesh Ram, in-charge Krishna Allavaru, and Legislative Party leader Shakeel Ahmad Khan. This Patna meet could shape Congress’s strategy on Bihar migration, unemployment, and national election integrity.
