Key Points

The Congress party has called for a meeting of its working committee on 21 December to deliberate on the strategy for the upcoming 2024 general election and chalk out a plan to hit the ground running for its poll campaign to take on the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), sources said as reported by PTI..

The recently held assembly elections came as a blow to the party as it saw defeat in the Hindi heartland states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan..

As per the sources, the meeting, which will take place at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters, would come two days after the INDIA bloc meeting on December 19 and seat sharing and campaign is likely to be top of the agenda...

Apart from this, the meeting is also likely to discuss the possibility of a yatra that Rahul Gandhi could undertake before the 2024 polls with unemployment and price rise as its main planks..

Evolving a "core positive agenda", seat sharing and a programme to hold joint rallies are among the main challenges before the opposition INDIA bloc that will be taken up at its next meeting..
