Over 400 party leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will participate in discussions over the next few days in the brainstorming meet at Rajasthan's Udaipur.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi said changes in the organisation were the need of the hour and "we need to change our way of working" as the party today began a three-day "Chintan Shivir" or brainstorming session after a series of election defeats.
The Congress leader also accused the BJP of "brutalising minorities and glorifying Mahatma Gandhi's killers" in her opening remarks. An "eloquent Prime Minister Narendra Modi" was silent when his healing touch was most needed, she commented.
"Changes in the organisation are the need of the hour. We need to change the way of our working," Sonia Gandhi said.
"I urge partymen to express views openly at the Shivir, but one message of strong party and unity should go out to the country," she urged.
