Cosmetic change in the Congress will not work and the focus of the three-day Nav Sankalp chintan shivir at Udaipur will be on making it battle-ready for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls with an implementable action plan, a senior leader of the party said on Wednesday.
The three-day brainstorming session, beginning on May 13, will send out a clear message that no anti-BJP front can work nationally without the Congress getting stronger ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
Though the focus of the chintan shivir will be on organisational reforms with fixed timelines and responsibilities assigned, the leader said the leadership issue too is expected to come up, as 99 per cent of the participants are likely to reiterate their demand for Rahul Gandhi to take over as the party chief.
