Earlier on Sunday, Congress held a National Alliance Committee (NAC) meeting to discuss the seat-sharing formula in Bihar in the national capital.
Congress National Alliance Committee members Ashok Gehlot and Salman Khurshid were also present.
The Congress formed the five-member NAC, with Mukul 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.
