Belagavi is abuzz with activity as the city prepares to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the historic Congress session presided over by Mahatma Gandhi. The city is decked out in festive splendour to welcome veteran Congress leaders nationwide. With over 600 dignitaries expected, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and around 150 Members of Parliament, the event promises to be a grand affair.

To accommodate this large influx of leaders and attendees, hotel rooms across Belagavi—ranging from small lodges to luxurious five-star establishments—have been fully reserved. The Mahatma Gandhi Congress Convention Centenary Program, scheduled for December 26 and 27, has brought the city’s hospitality sector into the spotlight once again.

This comes on the heels of the state government’s recently concluded winter session, held from December 9 to 19, which had already placed significant demands on the city’s accommodations. During that session, the district administration arranged stays for ministers and officials in premium hotels both within and outside the city. Now, with the Congress centenary celebration, Belagavi’s hotels are experiencing another surge in bookings.

Key attendees include All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary, state Congress committee presidents, executive members, and in-charge leaders from various states. Sources indicate that additional arrangements have been made to host dignitaries from abroad, ensuring a seamless and comfortable stay for all participants during the two-day event.
