The Congress Working Committee convened in Patna, Bihar, for the first time since 1940, a historic moment steeped in symbolism and strategic intent. The 1940 Ramgarh session of the CWC, presided over by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, was a watershed in India’s freedom struggle, as it formally committed the party to the creation of a Constituent Assembly to draft the nation’s Constitution. Fast forward 85 years, and the Congress is seeking to revive that legacy at Patna’s Sadaqat Ashram, a site once frequented by stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Dr Rajendra Prasad.
