Haryana Elections 2024: Congress Convenes Emergency Meeting After Defeat, Rahul Gandhi to Attend

Following a major electoral loss in Haryana, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has convened a high-level meeting to assess the situation and chart the party’s future strategy. Senior leaders like Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja, Ashok Gehlot, and Randeep Surjewala have been summoned to discuss the reasons behind the defeat. The party has been grappling with internal conflicts and leadership disputes, which are believed to have contributed to the setback. The meeting will address organizational issues, align leadership strategies, and focus on rebuilding the party’s standing in Haryana ahead of future elections. In the recent assembly elections, the BJP emerged victorious with a substantial lead, winning 48 seats, while Congress managed to secure only 37. The party's defeat has raised questions about its electoral approach, especially in a state where it was once a dominant force. Kharge aims to tackle these challenges head-on, ensuring a cohesive leadership structure and resolving factional disputes within the state unit. The outcome of this meeting could significantly impact Congress's strategy not only in Haryana but also in upcoming state elections across India.
