Bihar's National Democratic Alliance leaders have condemned the Congress Working Committee meeting held at Patna's historic Sadaqat Ashram. Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha characterized the gathering as a desperate attempt by Congress to rebuild political influence before the 2025 Assembly elections. Minister Santosh Kumar Suman from Hindustani Awam Morcha urged Congress to distance itself from the Rashtriya Janata Dal if party leaders genuinely wish to serve Bihar's population. The criticism targets Congress for neglecting the state during decades of previous political dominance. NDA officials dismiss the meeting as empty political theater lacking meaningful substance.
Over 170 prominent Congress figures attended the high-level assembly at the symbolically significant venue. Party President Mallikarjun Kharge joined Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra alongside three Chief Ministers from Congress-ruled states. The meeting represents Congress efforts to reshape its electoral strategy amid ongoing tensions with RJD over seat distribution within the INDIA alliance framework. Political observers view these developments as preliminary moves in an approaching electoral confrontation.
