Cong announces campaign against 'attack on Constitution', price rise

VOWS MAJOR ORGANISATIONAL OVERHAUL

- 

BELAGAVI (KARNATAKA): The Indian National Congress has unveiled an ambitious 13-month-long political campaign to address pressing national issues, including the alleged undermining of the Constitution, rising corruption, and soaring prices. This initiative was announced on Thursday during the extended Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, named the 'Nava Satyagraha Baithak,' held in Belagavi to commemorate 100 years since Mahatma Gandhi assumed the party's presidency at the Belgaum session.

Key decisions taken at the meeting included the adoption of two significant resolutions—one dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi's legacy and the other a political resolution addressing current national challenges. Prominent Congress leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Rahul Gandhi, and general secretaries Jairam Ramesh and K C Venugopal, were present to chart the party's future course.

K C Venugopal, Congress General Secretary in charge of the organisation, outlined the campaign's blueprint, stating that the initiative would include 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, and Jai Samvidhan Abhiyan,' a series of padayatras, rallies, and grassroots-level activities. This campaign, running from December 27, 2024, to January 26, 2026, aims to highlight issues such as the erosion of constitutional values and the public's mounting concerns over economic hardships.
