Wayanad bypoll: Low voter turnout dampens Congress spirits
Political observers say that the massive turnout of crowd during the campaigns of Priyanka in the constituency is not reflected in the polling.
The Congress party will hold a 3-day plenary session in Raipur, Chhattisgarh in the second half of February next year, party General Secretary K C Venugopal announced on Sunday.
Key national issues will be discussed at the plenary, followed by a grand public meeting to be addressed by the top leaders, he said at a press conference.
The party also announced that as a follow-up to the Bharat Jodo Yatra, it will run a massive campaign ‘Haath se haath jodo abhiyaan’ from 26 January for two months as part of which padyatras will be taken out and a letter from senior leader Rahul Gandhi talking about the core message of the yatra will be distributed among the people along with a ‘charge sheet’ against the Narendra Modi government.
The decisions were taken at the first meeting of the Congress Steering Committee constituted by party president Mallikarjun Kharge.
In a statement, the party said the committee noted the “overwhelming success” of the Bharat Jodo Yatra and the wide participation of lakhs of people.
