New Delhi: The Congress is planning to call a meeting of its highest body, the Congress Working Committee (CWC), on January 11. This assumes significance as it will further outline Congress’ sharp attack on the BJP-led central government on demonetisation.
The Congress is already in an month-long agitation mode. Also, the much awaited elevation of the Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi is likely to be discussed.
In the previous CWC meeting held on November 1, 2016, veteran leader A.K. Antony had indicated that Rahul in principle had agreed to take over the leadership. The CWC had unanimously urged Rahul to take over the mantle. Congress president Sonia Gandhi has been keeping a low profile. In the last CWC meeting Sonia Gandhi was absent as she was indisposed. On the party’s Founders Day too it was Rahul leading the charge as the Sonia was absent then.
