Congress holds 4 hour meeting in Delhi to discuss strategy for 2024 polls

New Delhi/IBNS: The Congress party Wednesday held a key meeting in Delhi to discuss the strategy for the national election next year.

According to reports, the party has kept the door open for alliances, though there is much speculation over a possible tie-up between the Congress and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

"The meeting lasted for four hours; 40 leaders attended and gave their opinion. The talks focused on strengthening the Congress in Delhi," Congress leader Alka Lamba said after attending the meeting chaired by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and MP Rahul Gandhi.

However, a section of the Delhi Congress is still upset over how the AAP suddenly came to power after decimating the Congress in the 2015 election in the national capital.

The AAP won 67 out of the 70 seats and the BJP took 3 seats. The Congress drew a blank then, which ended the party's 15-year rule of Delhi under former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.

AAP leader and Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj said nothing is known at the moment about any seat-sharing arrangement for the national election next year.

"When all the parties of the INDIA bloc sit and discuss seat-sharing, the national leadership of all the parties will come to an agreement. Till then nothing is concrete. All this is very far ahead," Bhardwaj said.
