Congress to hold 3-day plenary session in Raipur from Feb 24

The Congress will hold a plenary session of the party from February 24 to 26 in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur. The Congress Working Committee (CWC) election will also be held along with the plenary session. The CWC is the highest decision-making body of the Congress party.

Sharing details of the plenary session, AICC general secretary KC Venugopal said, “We had a democratic election and the Congress president was elected through a transparent and democratic way. As per tradition, we have already announced the plenary session of the party in the last leg of February at Raipur. Now, AICC has decided that the 85th plenary session of the Indian National Congress will be held on 24, 25, 26 of February in Raipur. It will be a three- day conference and will start on 24th and end on 26th February.”

The three-day session in Raipur will be



witnessing detailed discussion on six major issues.

KC Venugopal, “There will be six major subjects to be debated- one is political, economic, international affairs, farmers and agricultural, social justice and empowerment, youth education and employment. These are the six subjects which are going to be debated and discussed in the plenary session along with the constitutional amendment. Usually we do that constitutional amendment committee, or so that will also be part of the plenary session.”

Congress’s mini-brainstorm session took place at Udaipur in May 2022 where the party charted out a blueprint as far as where the party will head further.

The plenary session will be significant as the party will finalise the strategy before crucial state Assembly elections in nine states and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
