Congress focusing on winnability in 2024 and not on number of seats

The Congress party is shifting its focus towards winnability rather than aiming for an increase in the number of seats. The party leaders are said to have held a comprehensive dialogue with the National Alliance Committee. In UP, the Congress is likely to demand 10 plus seats including Amethi, Raebareli, Shahjahanpur, Maharajganj, Farrukhabad, Kushinagar and Varanasi. In Bihar, the party is likely to ask for 9 plus seats including Sasaram, Katihar, Kishanganj, Aurangabad, Motihari and Darbhanga. Reportedly, the other seats the party is eyeing at include Hazaribagh, Ranchi, Dhanbad, Khunti, Jamshedpur, Chatra and Palamu in Jharkhand. The party is likely to demand 6 seats in West Bengal, 8 seats in Punjab, 20+ seats in Maharashtra and 3 seats in Delhi.
