Focus on bihar polls and the problem of “theft of votes”
The CWC should adopt some resolutions aimed at intensifying the Congress campaign before the Bihar elections scheduled for November, according to the PTI.
Reunion is focused on electoral strategy and the intensification of party criticism with regard to the BJP concerning allegations of handling electoral lists.

A strong message will probably be issued concerning the special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral lists by the EC, the PTI cited the party sources reported.
The meeting follows the recent “Voting Adhikar Yatra” by Gandhi against the “chori vote”, which energized party executives, and two press conferences during which he accused the chief commissioner Gyaneh Kumar of having protected those who “destroyed democracy”.
The ECs rejected these allegations, describing them as “inaccurate and baseless”.
