NEW DELHI: The Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Thursday announced a 13-month-long campaign centered around the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi, the architect of the Indian Constitution Bhimrao Ambedkar, and the Constitution itself—in a bid to corner the ruling dispensation on what it sees as three ideological battlegrounds between the grand old party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The party said it also plans a Samvidhan Bachao Rashtriya Padayatra (Save the Constitution national march) between January 26, 2025 and January 26, 2026, aiming to overhaul its organisation over the next 12 months to make it battle-ready for the future elections, and announced that an All-India Congress Committee (AICC) session will be held in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bastion Gujarat in April next year.
These key decisions were taken at a special "Nav Satyagraha Baithak" of CWC in Belagavi to mark the 100th anniversary of the Belgaum (as it was called then) session of the Congress presided over by Mahatma Gandhi.
"We have decided to go for massive political campaign from December 27 to January 26, 2025. The campaign on Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan will be a continuous campaign. It will include padyatras in villages, block level, district level and state level. There will be rallies, seminars, public meetings and public rallies. These will be led by our leaders. We will raise voice against attacks and degradation of Constitution. We will raise common people's issues such as price rise, corruption," Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said after the first day of the two-day meet. The schedule for the second day of the meeting was cancelled late on Thursday night following the demise of senior party leader and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
