The Congress party held a key meeting in Delhi today to discuss the strategy for the national election next year. Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal, and Deepak Bawaria were present in the three-hour-long meeting . "We discussed how to strengthen our organization further. We have been asked to prepare for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In the next seven months, each minister will work towards strengthening our organization and seven seats (of Delhi)," Alka Lamba said. The AAP has responded sharply to the Congress's claims and said: "Congress came to us for an alliance because the Congress has no existence in Delhi. The top leadership will decide if we will attend the next meeting of INDIA alliance."
