In a strategic move for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party has formed a dedicated National Alliance Committee. Headed by seasoned leader and former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, the committee brings together experienced Congress figures. Their primary mission: crafting strategic alliances with like-minded parties to boost the party’s chances of victory.
