"We are going to fight against communal forces in Bihar": Congress' K Suresh arrives in Patna for CWC meeting

Patna (Bihar) [India], September 24 (ANI): As Congress gears up for its working committee's meeting on Wednesday in poll-bound Bihar, Congress MP K Suresh said the party will fight against communal forces in the state.
K Suresh highlighted the importance of the gathering for strengthening the party across the country and for the Congress-RJD alliance ahead of the Assembly elections.
Speaking to ANI, K Suresh said, "The CWC meeting is for strengthening the party throughout the country, not only in Bihar. We are going to fight against the communal forces in Bihar. The CWC meeting is very important for RJD and Congress 'gathbandhan' before the upcoming Assembly elections..."
Senior Congress leaders have started arriving in Bihar to attend the Congress Working Committee (CWC).
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah landed at Patna airport a day earlier to participate in the key gathering of the party's top decision-making body.
Congress MP Randeep Surjewala also reached Patna and, while speaking to the media, underlined Bihar's historic role in shaping political discourse.
"The land of Bihar has consistently created new history, from Champaran to the present day. The policy and ideological decisions that the CWC will take under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge will prove similarly far-reaching," Surjewala said.
The CWC meeting will take place at Sadaqat Ashram, the Congress's state party headquarters in Patna.
The meeting is expected to be attended by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi, Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee president Rajesh Ram, the party's Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru, and Congress Legislature Party leader Shakeel Ahmed Khan, among others.
The party's state in-charge, Krishna Allavaru, informed of the CWC meet in a press conference on Monday, while highlighting that the party is set to discuss multiple issues, including alleged 'vote chori' (vote theft) and others such as increasing crime, unemployment, and inflation, which are plaguing the state.
