New Delhi [India], January 7 : Congress leader Salman Khurshid on Sunday said that there are positive discussions with different parties on seat sharing everywhere and the next meeting will be done tomorrow with the Aam Aadmi Party.
"The discussion will continue with different parties as per their schedules. We are putting our knowledge about the seats in the regions and asking for their impressions so that we are more focused in the upcoming meetings. The meetings were good and the next meeting with AAP will be done tomorrow. There are positive discussions on seat sharing everywhere," Salman Khurshid said.
Congress held a National Alliance Committee (NAC) meeting to discuss the seat-sharing formula in Bihar on Sunday in New Delhi.
Earlier, RJD MP Manoj Jha arrived at the residence of Congress leader and convener of the Congress National Alliance Committee, Mukul Wasnik in the national capital.
Congress National Alliance Committee members Ashok Gehlot and Salman Khurshid were also present.
This was the first meeting with RJD to discuss the seat-sharing formula for the state of Bihar.
The Congress formed the five-member NAC, with Wasnik as convenor and veteran leaders including former chief ministers Ashok Gehlot and Bhupesh Baghel, former Union minister Salman Khurshid, and Mohan Prakash as members.
The committee is tasked with examining various aspects of forming alliances with other political entities in the lead-up to the 2024 general elections.
As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections loom just four months away, the allocation of seats becomes pivotal for the Congress, especially after recent electoral setbacks.
Earlier on Saturday, the Congress set up the election committees for eight states, including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and others.
The grand old party also constituted the political affairs committee for Madhya Pradesh.
"The Congress President has approved the proposal of the constitution of Pradesh Election Committees of Rajasthan, Kerala, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura, and Pradesh Election Committee and Political Affairs Committee of Madhya Pradesh, with immediate effect," an official statement issued by the party said on Saturday.
