The Congress for the first time met under newly appointed Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, the Indian National Congress convened a Task Force meeting on Monday, November 14. In New Delhi’s 15 GRG Congress War Room, the conference took place.

This is the first time the Congress Task Force has met since seasoned leader Mallikarjun Kharge assumed leadership as the Congress president.

According to rumours, the “Task Force 2024” was established for the general election that is planned for the following year. P Chidambaram, Mukul Wasnik, Jairam Ramesh, KC Venugopal, Ajay Maken, Randeep Surjewala, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and Sunil Kanugolu were among the task force members who showed up at the 15 GRG Congress War Room for the meeting, which was presided over by Mallikarjun Kharge.

Specific tasks pertaining to organization, communications and media, outreach, finances, and election management will be given to each task force member. They will have assigned teams that will be informed later.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which he leads, stormed back into power in the 2019 general elections. The party increased its 2014 total of 282 seats to 303 in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament.

With 53 seats, Congress and its allies outperformed their 2014 performance when they only managed to win 44 seats. Several leaders also made an effort to bring the Opposition together in opposition to the BJP, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

After a contest between him and his rival Shashi Tharoor, who received slightly more than 1,000 votes, Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, was chosen as the party’s leader.
