The Congress has reportedly put up these posters throughout Belagavi town as part of celebrations for the centenary event.
We are organising a historic conference on December 26 and 27 in Belagavi remembering the hundredth anniversary of the congress session presided over by Mahatma Gandhi, says Congress leader
The first meeting of the reconstituted Congress Working Committee (CWC) took place on Saturday.
Holding the crucial meeting in the Telangana capital, the Congress is also looking to send out a message that it will go all-out to dislodge the BRS government in the poll-bound state.
There was too much hype around this CWC meeting, but no fireworks or any concrete suggestion on how to make the organisation a fighting-fit poll machine once again. Old timers recall how the CWC would guide the party out of any crisis situation
Election for Congress’ top post has been in turmoil ever since the party's debacle in 2019. Rahul Gandhi, who took over the post from mother Sonia Gandhi in 2017, stepped down after the 2019 defeat. The Congress has since failed to find a replacement and, thus, urged Sonia Gandhi to continue as the party’s interim chief.
In her opening remarks at first physical meeting of the CWC — Congress’ top decision-making body — since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sonia Gandhi said she appreciated frankness and there was no need to speak to her through media, perhaps, referring to letters and comments by the 'G-23' group of dissenting leaders
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, it is believed, is trying to avert a showdown. Party sources said a senior Congress leader, acting as her emissary, is trying to prevail upon the G-23 dissenters not to confront the leadership at the October 16 CWC
It was also decided in the CWC meeting that a committee would be formed to help Sonia Gandhi in day-to-day functioning of the Congress party
