Jan-12-2026

Congress' top brass will chair a meeting with west Bengal senior party leaders in New Delhi on January 17 to discuss poll preparedness and strategy for the upcoming assembly elections. 

Besides, the Congress also needs to decide which alliances it forges for the polls. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, AICC general secretary in-charge organisation K C Venugopal, AICC general secretary in-charge West Bengal Ghulam Ahmad Mir and West Bengal Congress Committee chief Subhankar Sarkar, among others, are expected to participate in the meeting.

Sudip Roy Burman, Shakeel Ahmad Khan and Prakash Joshi have been appointed as senior observers for the West Bengal Assembly election by the Congress. The meetings come amid a row over ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in West Bengal which has been vehemently criticised by parties such as the TMC and the Congress. 

A meeting of the party's screening committee for West Bengal, along with meetings of state political action committee members, election committee members, and senior party observers will be held on in Kolkata on January 18.

Polls in West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry would be held in the next few months as the tenures of their respective assemblies are due to end in May and June.
