Sonia Gandhi Inaugurates New Congress Headquarters ‘Indira Bhawan’ In New Delhi

On Wednesday, Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, inaugurated the new Congress Headquarters, named ‘Indira Bhawan,’ in New Delhi.

Senior party leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and party workers from across the country attended the event.

During the ceremony, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised the national flag at the new headquarters.

Located at 9A, Kotla Road, the new headquarters marks a significant moment for the Congress party, which had been based at 24 Akbar Road for the past 47 years.

The Congress party described the building as a symbol of democracy, nationalism, secularism, inclusive development, and social justice.

Taking to X, the Congress party posted, “Cherishing the 140-year-old glorious history of the Congress, the walls here narrate the saga of truth, non-violence, sacrifice, struggle, and patriotism. With new energy, resolve, and confidence, the Congress is ready to shape India’s bright future, ensure people’s participation, and hoist the flag of justice.”

The party also highlighted that the building represents service, harmony, dedication, and patriotism.

“Congress party’s new headquarters ‘Indira Bhawan’ has built on the foundation of Democracy, Nationalism, Secularism, Inclusive Development and Social Justice. Symbolising the 140-year-old glorious history of the Indian National Congress, the walls here narrate the great saga of truth, non-violence, sacrifice, struggle and patriotism,” Kharge posted.

Rahul Gandhi Marks Inauguration Of Indira Bhawan; Criticizes RSS Chief’s Remarks On India’s Independence

Addressing the gathering, Rahul Gandhi stated, “We are inaugurating our new headquarters at a very significant time. It’s symbolic that yesterday, the RSS chief stated India didn’t achieve true independence in 1947 but only after the Ram Mandir was built. This building is not ordinary – it has emerged from the soil of our country, representing the hard work and sacrifices of millions. The fruit of the freedom movement was our Constitution, which Mohan Bhagwat implicitly criticized, suggesting it doesn’t symbolize our freedom. This party has always stood for a particular set of values, reflected in this building.”

The headquarters, which honors former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, took over 15 years to complete.

Over 400 prominent Congress leaders attended the inauguration, including members of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) presidents, Congress MPs, and several former Chief Ministers and Union Ministers.
