Congress President Rahul Gandhi has called a meeting of party general secretaries and state in-charges on Thursday, 7 February, in New Delhi.

At the meeting, party members will review preparations for the upcoming general elections, news agency ANI reported.

Gandhi will also meet Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) presidents two days after the Delhi meet, on 9 February.

Reports suggest that the Congress could also discuss its election manifesto for the crucial polls during the meeting.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who was recently made general secretary of the Congress for east Uttar Pradesh, is likely to be present at the meeting.

Meanwhile, while inaugurating a Congress march on Sunday, 3 February, veteran AICC leader AK Antony said that the Lok Sabha elections will witness the "second Kurukshetra war" in which the Narendra Modi-led "Kauravas" will face a drubbing by the Congress party led by Gandhi.

"The 2019 Lok Sabha election will witness a second Kurukshetra war, in which the Kauravas led by Narendra Modi will be destroyed by Rahul Gandhi. This year's election is not simply any other Parliament election. This is a war to save the country, to save the Constitution, its morals and values, constitutional institutions and other threats faced by the country," Antony had said.
