KEY STORY
-
Congress is mulling a massive organisational shake-up in a bid to revive the party ahead of assembling states in key states such as Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
-
The regional leaders are likely to be promoted. However, the Gandhis will retain the top post. Senior leaders Sachin Pilot, Mallikarjun Kharge and TS Singh Deo are likely to be brought into national politics and will lead the party from the front.
-
The Congress party will leave no stone unturned and build itself once again because the party organisation is almost crumbling and with assembly states coming up in important states like Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The Congress can’t take any more chances,
-
This comes amid an internal rift between Congress leaders Navjot Singh Sidhu and CM Captain Amarinder Singh in Punjab and CM Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan.
CONCLUSION
-
This time the grand old party is likely to keep a balance between the young and old party leaders. Besides, the leaders of the G23 group who wrote a letter to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi last year demanding a complete overhaul, are likely to be given important posts this time.
-
The letter had created a massive controversy and triggered an internal battle within Congress. The list includes five former chief ministers, sitting MPs Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari, members of Congress Working Committee and over a dozen former union ministers with years of political experience.
