The Congress party will hold a 3-day plenary session in Raipur, Chhattisgarh in the second half of February next year, party General Secretary K C Venugopal announced on Sunday.

Key national issues will be discussed at the plenary, followed by a grand public meeting to be addressed by the top leaders, he said at a press conference.
The party also announced that as a follow-up to the Bharat Jodo Yatra, it will run a massive campaign ‘Haath se haath jodo abhiyaan’ from 26 January for two months as part of which padyatras will be taken out and a letter from senior leader Rahul Gandhi talking about the core message of the yatra will be distributed among the people along with a ‘charge sheet’ against the Narendra Modi government.

The decisions were taken at the first meeting of the Congress Steering Committee constituted by party president Mallikarjun Kharge.
In a statement, the party said the committee noted the “overwhelming success” of the Bharat Jodo Yatra and the wide participation of lakhs of people.
