Poll Bugle Sounded, Congress To Formally Start Seat-Sharing Talks Next Week

The National Alliance Committee of the Congress will also hold meetings today and tomorrow with leaders from states where the party is likely to contest the Lok Sabha polls in an alliance with other INDIA bloc constituents.

Congress's National Alliance Committee, set up to facilitate seat-sharing talks with allies, will hold meetings with party leaders from the states here on Friday and Saturday, and the negotiations with the allies will formally start next week after the panel submits a report to party chief Mallikarjun Kharge.

With the clock ticking for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and preparations taking shape for the party's "Bharat Nyay Yatra", the Congress, which sounded its poll bugle at a rally in Nagpur on Thursday, is set to hold a series of high-level meetings.

According to sources, Mr Kharge held an interaction with the Congress general secretaries in-charge of all states after the rally at Nagpur on Thursday evening and discussed the upcoming polls and organisational issues.
