The Congress party is staring at a major logistical and political challenge after being directed to vacate two of its high-profile offices in Delhi. The properties—its central headquarters at 24 Akbar Road and another important building at 5 Raisina Road—have been served eviction notices, with March 28 set as the final deadline.

Senior party figures have acknowledged receiving the communication recently, leaving limited time to respond or make alternative arrangements. The move has heightened anxiety within the party, with leaders describing the current situation as more serious than previous instances.

Sources indicate that Congress is actively exploring legal remedies and may approach the courts to challenge the notices or seek temporary relief. At the same time, it is considering requesting additional time from authorities to manage the transition.

One of the options under discussion involves reallocating the property through parliamentary channels—potentially by facilitating the allotment in the name of a Rajya Sabha member—though this would require swift political action.

The potential loss of these addresses is significant, both symbolically and functionally. The 24 Akbar Road office, in particular, has long been associated with the party’s central leadership, while both locations have played a key role in coordination and decision-making.
