The leaders involved in the CWC had also asked Sonia Gandhi to make necessary changes and take corrective steps to strengthen the Congress. The latest order is being considered as a step in the direction of this reform. In a statement issued after the CWC meeting, it was said that the assembly election results of five states are a matter of serious concern for the Indian National Congress.
It was also decided in the CWC meeting chaired by Sonia Gandhi for about four and a half hours that a ‘Chintan Shivir’ would be organized immediately after the budget session of Parliament in which the future strategy would be decided. This was proposed by the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot. There will be another CWC meeting before the ‘Chintan Shivir’.
