Congress Working Committee to meet today

The Congress Working Committee (CWC) is meeting here today to chalk out the next steps in its political strategy.

This will be the second CWC meeting in recent months to discuss the political situation and the challenges before the Congress after the session last year, during which Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul had offered to resign in the wake of the worst-ever debacle of the Congress in the general elections, which had seen its tally plummeting to 44 from 206.

The CWC had met a few other times, but those meetings were held only for the passage of condolence resolutions in the wake of the demise of A R Antulay and some other senior leaders.

The CWC meeting is also likely to discuss organisational issues like the appointment of office bearers through election or nomination.
