A group of 18 Congress leaders -- a mix of G-23 dissidents and some 'newcomers' -- spoke in favour of a "collective, inclusive leadership" after a meeting at the house of senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Wednesday. Their statement did not reflect any call for a non-Gandhi at the helm, or an organisational election, which a section in the party has been rooting for. It, however, demanded that the Congress be proactive to create a platform with other like-minded parties to take on the BJP in 2024 -- aiming to end the slow isolation of the party amid the opposition.
