Congress has constituted its Manifesto Committee for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and appointed former union minister P Chidambaram as its chairman. Former Chhattisgarh Deputy CM TS Singh Deo has been made the convenor of the important panel. The 16-member panel includes Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Former Union ministers Anand Sharma, Jairam Ramesh and Shashi Tharoor are also part of the committee.

The development comes a day after a crucial Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting where the party discussed its Lok Sabha poll strategy. “The Congress president has constituted the Manifesto Committee for the upcoming General Election 2024 with immediate effect,” reads a statement issued by the party on Friday.
