According to party sources, the discussions were held in a positive and forward-looking atmosphere, with a clear focus on strengthening the Congress organisation at the grassroots level and capitalising on growing public dissatisfaction over civic issues such as poor roads, water supply, sanitation, and rising taxes in Nagpur.
Leaders reportedly expressed confidence that the Congress-led alliance would present a credible alternative to the ruling dispensation in the NMC. Emphasis was also laid on booth-level mobilisation, coordination among alliance partners, and projecting local leadership with a clean image and strong connect with citizens.
“This election will bring a definite change in Nagpur,” party leaders asserted, signalling the Congress’s intent to make a strong comeback in the city’s civic body in 2026.
