Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will attend the special meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) in Karnataka’s Belagavi on Thursday.
The event, to be attended by over 200 senior party leaders from all over the country, including permanent and special invitees, commemorates 100 years of Mahatma Gandhi assuming Indian National Congress (INC) presidency at the same venue in 1924.
The meeting, which is part of the larger ‘Gandhi Bharat’, programme, will deliberate the party’s strategy for the upcoming year and discuss organisational restructuring plans.
Accompanying Revanth Reddy from the state will be ministers N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and Damodar Rajanarasimha, TPCC chief B. Mahesh Kumar Goud, MLC T. Jeevan Reddy and AICC secretary Challa Vamshi Chand Reddy.
According to party sources also on the agenda is a discussion on the controversy surrounding Union home minister Amit Shah's alleged comments about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Party insiders revealed that they will launch nationwide protests demanding Shah’s dismissal from the Union Cabinet. An action plan for going about the protests is likely to be finalised during the session.
Thursday’s main session 'Nav Satyagraha Baitak' will be followed by the 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan' rally on Friday.
The CWC is expected to adopt two key resolutions, which will include addressing the political and economic challenges under the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, such as rising inequality, democratic backsliding and constitutional erosion.
