As the Congress gets ready for the ‘Nav Sankalp chintan shivir’ (brainstorming session) in Udaipur from May 13, many within the party are wondering if the brainstorming session will bring clarity to the leadership issue.
A section in the party internally debated if the six crore plus party members can directly participate in deciding who should be the new party chief by September this year.
Sources in the central election authority (CEA), however, dismissed the idea, arguing that it would require a change in the party constitution and could not be done at such short notice.
