A party leader who is an active member of the Chintan Shivir exercise said that the moto of Congress behind holding the exercise is to deliberate upon the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The focus of Chintan Shivir will be formulating an action plan for the party, and steps to be taken to strengthen the organisation.
