The Congress will be fully prepared for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and will take steps to make the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) an “effective bulwark and force” against the BJP and its allies, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) said in a resolution on Thursday.
Condemning the suspension of INDIA bloc MPs from Parliament in the “strongest possible terms,” the resolution alleged that the suspensions were carried out “to ensure that the Opposition was not present to challenge the Narendra Modi Government as it bulldozed three draconian criminal justice laws through”.
Briefing reporters at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters after the four-hour meeting of the CWC, general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal said that the party will get into the election mode soon and Lok Sabha candidates would be decided with the constitution of the screening committee this month. He added that the manifesto committee for the Lok Sabha polls would be announced in a day or two.
