The Hindu
It comes barely a fortnight after Kapil Sibal, a G-23 leader, openly questioned party’s decision-making process
A meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Saturday may see an intense debate between the reformists and the loyalists of the Gandhi family over a range of issues, including the party’s performance in recent Assembly polls, number of desertions and the question of having a full-time party chief.
The meeting comes barely a fortnight after Kapil Sibal, one of reformists or the group of 23 (G-23) leaders who had written to party president Sonia Gandhi last year to seek internal reforms, openly questioned the decision-making process in the organisation as well as the high rate of attrition.
“In our party, at the moment, we don’t have a president. So, we don't know who’s taking these decisions,” Mr. Sibal said at a press conference on September 29.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat urges people to understand the organisation's goal of uniting Hindu society, emphasizing close contact over distance.
