Congress Chintan Shivir Live Updates: Facing the daunting task of revamping the party after a series of poll reverses, over 400 Congress leaders will go into a huddle at its ‘Chintan Shivir’ starting in Udaipur on Friday focusing on time-bound party restructuring, finding ways to combat politics of polarisation and getting battle-ready for upcoming electoral challenges.
The Congress has chosen six subjects and constituted groups to examine and submit their primary reports on actionables for the same, he said. These groups are political, social justice and empowerment, economy, Congress organisation, Kisan and Khet Mazdoor and Youth. These groups will present their first impressions for a conclusive discussion during the ‘Chintan Shivir’ (brainstorming session).
The party leadership is also likely to discuss “one family, one poll ticket” during the conclave. This was one of the suggestions floated by senior members during the meeting of the CWC on Monday to finalise the agenda of discussion for the ‘Chintan Shivir’.
Ahead of its brainstorming conclave here, the Congress asserted on Thursday that it was the principal opposition party but was conscious of its “shortcomings” and was ready to “transform” itself by working on its ideology and organisation. The party said it would introspect in the next three days to embark on a new direction by confronting various challenges and pave the way for the country’s bright future.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that there will never be a ‘Congress-mukt Bharat’ and those wishing so will themselves be decimated.
The Congress top brass is actively considering a radical idea to bring new faces into leadership levels. The Indian Express quoted sources saying that the party is seriously thinking of imposing an age-ceiling for leaders to hold positions in the organisation at all levels and for contesting elections besides putting in place a term-limit for Rajya Sabha members. The idea is part of the party’s attempt to give it a “young look.”
