In the run-up to the Bihar assembly elections, the Congress leadership held a crucial meeting on Tuesday to refine their electoral strategy. Led by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, discussions focused on gearing up for the polls with insights from local leaders, highlighting areas needing reinforcement.
The appointment of Rajesh Kumar, a Dalit leader, as the Bihar Congress chief, marks a significant strategic shift. Kumar replaced Akhilesh Prasad Singh, reflecting the party's renewed commitment to social justice and outreach to deprived communities. This move aligns with Rahul Gandhi's emphasis on "Samvidhan bachao" and a nationwide caste survey.
As part of the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, Congress is energetically positioning itself to challenge the NDA. The involvement of vibrant leaders like Krishna Allavaru encapsulates the party's intention to resonate with Bihar's youth and push for change in the upcoming elections.
