Congress working committee to meet in Delhi ahead of Udaipur ‘chintan shivir’
In front of Chintan Shivir In Udaipur, Rajasthan, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) will meet in Delhi on May 9 to formalize the agenda for the brainstorming, party general secretary KC Venugopal said on Thursday.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi formed six umbrella groups to draft papers on topics of political and organizational importance, social justice, economy, farmers and youth, during the three-day brainstorming conclave days.
Opposition leader in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge leads panel on policy issues; former finance minister P. Chidambaram on the economy; former Union minister Salman Khurshid on social justice; former Chief Minister of Haryana, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, will lead the committee on agriculture and farmers; and Mukul Wasnik will lead the coordination group for organizational matters.
the Chintan Shivir was announced after the decimation of the party in recently concluded assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur and Goa.
Given that the CWC meeting comes after the party’s detailed negotiation with poll strategist Prashant Kishor on internal reforms failed, some members, who were not part of the talks with Mr Kishor, may also raise this issue. .
