New delhi sources stated that the congress will hold 35 press conferences between 1 and 8 november, and will also hold protests from 5 to 15 november to highlight the country's current economic situation. Meanwhile All india congress Committee (AICC) general secretary KC Venugopal in a statement on 23 october had said that protests would be organized in districts and state capitals, which would be culminating in a massive program in the national capital.
Furthermore the earlier statement said it may be recalled that the decision in this regard was taken at the meeting headed by congress president sonia gandhi with senior leaders, party office bearers and in-charges, congress chief ministers and PCC presidents and CLP leaders on 12/13 september, but the earlier schedule of the program slated between 15 october and 25 october had to be postponed because of the just-concluded assembly elections".
It added "The party appeals to the people across the country to come forward and make the arrogant government listen to their voice”.
