Giving information about the convention in a press conference, party’s General Secretary KC Venugopal said, our convention is going to start in Raipur from February 24. All the subjects of the country will be discussed in this plenary session, in which 15,000 delegates have been called.
Venugopal said, “Congress officials from all the states will be present in this convention. The Raipur Chintan Shivir will start at 9 am with the steering committee. And the agenda will be finalized from 9.30 am on 25th. Bharat Jodo Yatra has given the right direction and We have raised the issues of the public. Rahul Gandhi has proved that the public is against this government. This Chintan Shivir will be known as Hath Se Hath Jodo.”

It is wrong to say that Congress does not form alliances.
Former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh said, “In many states we are in alliance before elections. So it is wrong to say that Congress does not form alliances before elections.” He said that the Chintan Shivir is being organized only in the context of Bharat Jodo Yatra. The enthusiasm and energy that has come from the yatra is a new thing. Join hands with hands is its theme.
Taking a dig at the BJP on the Adani issue, Ramesh said that we never have two faces regarding the BJP. We are not backing down from the demand of JPC, without this this scam cannot be exposed.
