Rahul Gandhi is likely to address the session at around 10:30 am. Rahul’s speech comes a day after Sonia Gandhi’s address where she hinted at ending her political innings after her 20-year tenure as party chief.
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi is all set to address party members on the third and final day of the grand old party’s plenary session in Raipur on Sunday. Three resolutions related to agriculture, youth and social justice will be deliberated upon by the party delegation on Sunday.
Rahul Gandhi is likely to address the session at around 10:30 am. Rahul’s speech comes a day after Sonia Gandhi’s address where she hinted at ending her political innings after her 20-year tenure as party chief.
Sonia Gandhi received a standing ovation as she spoke on the 85th plenary session’s second day. “I am glad that my innings ended with the Bharat Jodo Yatra,” she ominously said at the end of her speech at the plenary session.
Final Day of Congress Plenary Session
On the last day of the session, deliberations are likely to begin in the morning on three party resolutions – farmers and agriculture; social justice and empowerment; and youth, education and employment. After Gandhi’s address, deliberations on the three resolutions will continue.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge will deliver the concluding remarks at the plenary in the afternoon around 2PM.
Following Kharge’s address, there will be a public meeting in Raipur that will be addressed by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Kharge and Gandhi, bringing down the curtains on the 85th plenary session.
Key Resolutions by Congress
Several resolutions related to political, economic and international affairs were deliberated upon and passed on Saturday.
The Congress party also said that there was an “urgent need” for a united Opposition to take on the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), and argued that the emergence of a third front would be an advantage for the BJP.
On the first day of the session, the Congress steering committee unanimously decided not to hold elections to the CWC and authorised the party chief to nominate its members. The decision was taken at the Kharge-led steering committee meeting which members of the Gandhi family skipped.
On Friday evening, the party’s subject committee held its meeting in which Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were also present after arriving in Raipur late afternoon. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra reached Chhattisgarh for the plenary session on Saturday morning.
