Sonia Gandhi enrols for Congress internal election: Over 2.6 crore Congress workers have enrolled digitally and another 3 crore have used paper enrolment system
Sonia Gandhi was among the last leaders who enrolled as Congress members digitally ahead of internal elections next month. Over 2.6 crore Congress workers have enrolled digitally and another 3 crore have used paper enrolment system to participate in the exercise that is being carried out for the first time in the party's 137-year-old history.
The Congress exercise comes after a series of electoral defeats in several states and internal calls from leaders and workers for a complete overhaul of the party organisation and leadership at all levels.
Many Congress dissenters have been questioning the party's election process and alleged bogus memberships. To address this, the Congress made a membership app in which party workers and leaders can enrol through a four-tier verification process.
The app is open only to authorised leaders and only workers are allowed to use it.
