Invoking the success of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) in 2004, party president Mallikarjun Kharge told Congress office-bearers on Thursday that similar efforts will have to be made for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
He was speaking at a three-hour meeting held to discuss the preparations for the general election.
Referring to former Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s 25-year tenure at the helm, Mr. Kharge said, “In our Bangalore Congress session in March 2001, a resolution was passed to remove the NDA alliance from power. Work was done wholeheartedly in every State, and in 2004, under the leadership of Soniaji, UPA defeated NDA and we remained in power for 10 consecutive years. Then our workers from every village and city stood up. Today the time has come to work with the same dedication and hard work.”
