Cong working out of temporary ‘war room’
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|October 06, 2025
Ahead of the Bihar election, the Congress party's "war room"-the command centre for election management-is currently operating from a temporary location, after its previous office was reclaimed by the Union government's estate department, two Congress leaders aware of the development said on Sunday.
This is the second address of the party's war room in the last one year. Till 2023, the party was working out of 15, Gurudwara Rakabganj Road in New Delhi for nearly 18 years. But, it had to be vacated after the party's Rajya Sabha member Pradeep Bhattacharya, to whom it was allotted, retired.
Over the past years, the bungalow had been allotted to various Congress MPs, who allowed the house to be used as the party's war room, where several key Congress meetings, strategy sessions and management of national and state elections took place.
