The Congress Working Committee meeting to be held on December 26 in Belagavi to commemorate the centenary of the historic Congress session of 1924, will give a fillip to the country's politics and Congress party's ongoing crusade, AICC general secretary KC Venugopal said here on Tuesday.
Addressing a joint press conference with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and AICC general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala at the Congress office in Belagavi, Venugopal said Mahatma Gandhi was the Congress president only once, and had taken charge in Belagavi on December 26, 1924. "We are now in 2024 and it is a matter of pride for every Congress worker to celebrate 100 years of this historic moment," he said.
