The people of the country want change and the Congress will be ready for the battle, the extended Congress Working Committee (CWC) said in a resolution on Sunday after two days of extensive deliberations in Hyderabad.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge stressed on unity and organisational discipline, and urged his party colleagues to set aside personal differences to take on their adversaries with full might in the upcoming Assembly as well as Lok Sabha elections.
In his opening remarks at the extended CWC meet, Mr. Kharge gave a call to remove the BJP from power in next year’s Lok Sabha elections, and said that it would a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhi as 2024 marks the centenary of Gandhiji’s election as the Congress president. He noted that the foundation of democracy and the Constitution of India was laid by the Congress, and therefore the responsibility to protect it also lies with the party.
