Political News: At CWC, Sonia Gandhi Tells Leaders it Requires ‘Self-control, Discipline’ to Revive Congress

Amid continued poll debacles and defections, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday said that all the members want the party to revive, but this is possible only with “unity and keeping the party’s interests paramount”. “Above all, it requires self-control and discipline,” she added.

” I am acutely conscious of the fact that I have been interim Congress President ever since the CWC, asked me to return in this capacity in 2019. We had thereafter, you may recall, finalised a roadmap for electing a regular President by June 30t. But the second wave of Covid-19 overtook the country and this deadline was extended indefinitely by the CWC in its meeting held on May 10,” Gandhi said at the key meeting of top Congress leaders.

She further said that today is the occasion to bring clarity once and for all. “A schedule for full-fledged organisational elections is before you. General Secretary, Organization, Venugopal ji will brief you on the entire process later,” the Congress president added.
