Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad and some other members of the G-32 group will soon meet party interim president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. The meeting comes after a crucial meeting of the Congress Working Committee on March 14 in which the party’s poor performance in the recent assembly elections was discussed.
The timing of the meeting will be decided and informed after speaking to Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. Earlier, only Azad was scheduled to meet Sonia Gandhi.
Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma and Mukul Wasnik were only three of the group of 23 leaders who repeatedly pressed for organizational change present at the CWC meeting, which has a large number of Gandhi family loyalists.
A day after the Group of 23 stood for “inclusive and collective leadership” in the Congress, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, one of its members, met Rahul Gandhi and the two leaders discussed reforming the party organisation. Opponents’ demand
The meeting is being seen as an attempt by the Gandhi family to reach out to the G-23, which has shown signs of increasing aggression on the leadership issue after the Congress’ defeat in assembly elections in five states.
Sources said that during the meeting that lasted for about one and a half hours, they discussed the party’s defeat in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur and Goa. Former Congress president Gandhi had called Hooda to discuss the political situation in Haryana. However, the discussion spread over the poor performance of the party in the five state elections.
Deputy leader of Congress in Rajya Sabha and another G-23 leader Anand Sharma also joined Hooda at Azad’s residence where he discussed the outcome of his meeting with Rahul Gandhi. Later in the evening, Sibal also met Azad at his residence. According to sources, Hooda told Gandhi that the G-23 leaders were not seeking any post, but only wanted to strengthen the party.
Amid calls from a section of Gandhi family loyalists to take action against Kapil Sibal, who had recently said that the Gandhi family should separate and pave the way for someone else to take over the reins of the party, Hooda slammed Rahul Gandhi that such a move would be unacceptable to the group as the disgruntled leader had only talked about strengthening the Congress.
TS Singh Deo, minister in Chhattisgarh, was the latest Congress leader to demand action against Sibal on Thursday for speaking out against the party leadership.
