Congress on September 24 held the CWC meeting in Patna ahead of Bihar elections. In view of strengthening their hold across the state before the assembly elections, the CWC meeting in Patna was attended by various senior leaders such as LoP Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and others. Launching a frontal attack on the BJP, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, during the meeting, accused the BJP of orchestrating ‘vote chori’ and communal polarisation.

The Congress chief further asserted that the Bihar Assembly elections would mark the beginning of the end of the Modi government's "corrupt rule.”
