The war rooms - the command centre for election management -

of different political parties avoid media glare and work in a rather secretive way due to the nature of its work. However,, just before the Bihar Assembly polls, the Congress is working in temporary War Room in Delhi. Till 2023, the party was working out of 15, Gurudwara Rakabganj Road in New Delhi for nearly 18 years. But, it had to be vacated after the party’s Rajya Sabha member Pradeep Bhattacharya, to whom it was allotted, retired. In 2024, just ahead of the  Lok Sabha elections, the Congress set up its centre in a small bungalow -- C 1/11, Subramania Bharti Marg - which was allotted to Congress lawmaker Uttam Kumar Reddy. But, months after he joined the Telangana cabinet, the allotment was withdrawn last month. Now the party has temporarily set up its command centre in bungalow number 17 that is allotted to Congress’s Rajya Sabha member Shakti Sinh Gohil.
