New Delhi, Mar 17 (IBNS): The 84th Plenary Session of the Congress Party will begin in New Delhi on Saturday.

The session is taking place ahead of the Lok Sabha polls scheduled to be held next year.

The session will be held for the first time under Congress President Rahul Gandhi's leadership.

Rahul Gandhi became the President of the party in 2017.

"Change is in the air as the 84th Plenary Session of the Congress Party begins today in New Delhi. As this historic occasion unfolds with new ideas that’ll shape the future of our country, we promise to bring you all the updates live on this space. Stay tuned. #ChangeIsNow," the Congress party tweeted.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi said he will be interacting and sharing views with participants during the two-day long session which will help in building a 'strong' Congress party.

"Welcome delegates and distinguished guests to the #CongressPlenary. Over the next two days I look forward to interacting with you and to sharing experiences and perspectives that will together help us build a stronger, more vibrant Congress party. Jai Hind," he said.

The session is taking place at a time when the BJP suffered defeats in by-polls held in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar this week.

Moreover, BJP received a blow on Friday when Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu announced that his Telugu Desam Party has decided to quit the National Democratic Alliance.
