The Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Thursday announced a 13-month-long campaign centered around the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi, the architect of the Indian Constitution Bhimrao Ambedkar, and the Constitution itself - in a bid to corner the ruling dispensation on what it sees as three ideological battlegrounds between the grand old party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The party said it also plans a Samvidhan Bachao Rashtriya Padayatra (Save the Constitution national march) between January 26, 2025 and January 26, 2026, aiming to overhaul its organisation over the next 12 months to make it battle-ready for the future elections, and announced that an All-India Congress Committee (AICC) session will be held in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bastion Gujarat in April next year.
These key decisions were taken at a special "Nav Satyagraha Baithak" of CWC in Belagavi to mark the 100th anniversary of the Belgaum (as it was called then) session of the Congress presided over by Mahatma Gandhi.
