Sitaram Yechury passed away on 12th September at AIIMS, New Delhi.

Some leaders emerge during elections, such as Lok Sabha or Assembly polls. One such person is 59-year-old Sunita, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. She has become a crucial link between her jailed husband and the party.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi paid rich tributes to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on his birth anniversary on Tuesday.
The Congress has started preparing for the state elections in the run-up to Lok Sabha polls but before that, it is taking feedback of the important leaders of the states concerned.
Some leaders have also said that Kishor's relations with a few regional parties could benefit Congress if he formally joins the party.
Talks on joining Congress are only between Gandhis and Kishor. He may join Congress in the next three to four days.
Prashant Kishor today met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and gave a detailed presentation on the strategy for the 2024 elections. Congress has said that the party at this point wants him to join the party rather than work as a consultant.
“The rising chorus of hatred, the unconcealed instigation of aggression and even crimes against the minorities is a far departure from the accommodating, syncretic traditions in our society.”
