Congress Leaders Meet at Sonia’s Residence to Chalk Out Lok Sabha Strategy

In preparation for the Budget Session, Congress leaders gathered at the residence of Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi to outline the party’s strategy. Critical issues, such as inflation, unemployment, alleged Chinese encroachment in Ladakh, violence in Manipur, misuse of Central agencies against the Opposition, and hostility faced by Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam, were identified for discussion during the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address debate and the Budget discussion.

These issues reflect the party’s focus on key national concerns. The government’s refusal to allow separate discussions in the last session of the 17th Lok Sabha necessitates addressing these matters during broader debates. The session, beginning with President Droupadi Murmu’s address, will run until February 9, featuring Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s presentation of the interim budget on Thursday.
