During the inauguration of the newly established party headquarters at Indira Bhawan, Kharge urged party leaders to seek legal avenues to reclaim these valuable assets.
Kharge also emphasized the importance of strengthening the party's grassroots presence. "I encourage party leaders to establish a party headquarters in every district," he stated, laying out his vision for a more organized and accessible party structure throughout India. The creation of this new department reflects a renewed commitment to safeguarding the Congress' assets and revitalizing its local presence, as reported by sources.
