A series of closed-door meetings were held in Patna with senior leaders Krishna Allavaru, Rajesh Ram, and Shakeel Ahmed Khan. Detailed discussions took place to prepare the final list of candidates for each seat. After the list is finalized, leaders will head to Delhi for approval from the Central Election Committee.
The Congress CEC meeting in Delhi on Wednesday is seen as crucial for the Congress candidates for Bihar elections.
