Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, CEC members Ambika Soni, Salman Khurshid, T S Singh Deo and Mushusudan Mistry were among those present at the meeting. Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav was also present during the deliberations.
Notably, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi, which is also part of the Oppositon's INDIA bloc, has ruled out the possibility of an alliance with the Congress for the Delhi Assembly polls.
Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav also said that his party will go solo in the polls due in February as it is in a very strong position to win the contest.
Qazi Nizamuddin, the in-charge of the party's affairs in Delhi, said that the people of Delhi have suffered a lot in the last 10 years.
“In the last 10 years, Delhi has suffered a lot. The Centre and the Delhi government have been blaming each other for the bad conditions here,” he said, according to PTI.
