Congress begins seat-sharing talks with INDIA bloc constituents; announces observers for 539 LS seats

On a day when senior leaders started seat-sharing talks in some States with partners of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), the Congress on January 7 announced names of observers for 539 Lok Sabha seats across the country.

“The Congress party has just released the list of coordinators covering 539 Parliamentary constituencies with 4 more to come soon. Hain Taiyaar Hum! [We are ready],” Congress communication chief Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X.

This comes a day after Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, at a press conference in New Delhi on January 6, had asserted that the party would assess every Lok Sabha seat. Though the party hasn’t given out an exact number of Lok Sabha seats it would contest, it is believed to be looking anywhere between 255 and 300 seats.
