Congress Leaders Discuss Political Strategy, EC Concerns, and Gandhi Jayanti Protests

Analysed 29 Sept 2026·4 sources analysed·New Delhi, India·Politics
Congress Leaders Discuss Political Strategy, EC Concerns, and Gandhi Jayanti ProtestsPreviousNext

At the Congress Working Committee meeting, Rahul Gandhi urged party leaders to trust his political strategy, citing remarks from Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Shah about the BJP eventually making way for the opposition. The meeting discussed demands including the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and plans for protests on Gandhi Jayanti. A lighthearted exchange occurred between Mallikarjun Kharge and Shashi Tharoor, with Kharge encouraging Tharoor to participate in protests rather than only writing articles. The party emphasized its independence in addressing electoral concerns.
