Kalaburagi (PTI): Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said a meeting has been convened on January 10 to assign responsibilities to various units of the party for the Lok Sabha elections.
He said he is going to Delhi on Wednesday to hold the meeting.
"INDIA bloc has taken some decisions regarding the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. I'm going to Delhi tomorrow. There is a meeting with various units of our party. We have to assign responsibilities to various units," Kharge told reporters.
The 81-year-old Rajya Sabha member said the party has appointed over 500 observers in the constituencies. The party has also appointed district-wise observers.

"There is also a meeting in Karnataka tomorrow to decide on how to choose candidates. Similar exercises have taken place in other states," Kharge said.
On the recent spat on social media with Maldives, Kharge accused Modi of taking everything personally.
Insisting that India needed to keep a good relationship with its neighbours, the Congress chief pointed out that nations cannot change their neighbours. In the worst situation countries fight, as India had fought against Pakistan for Bangladesh liberation, he added.
"Here he (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) hugs someone and calls some other wrong. He passes disparaging comments on the previous policies right from the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru saying that he did nothing. This is not good," Kharge said.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
