Showcasing internal democracy, building new leadership, accommodating youth, and the need to reflect changing social realities are the key themes of the reconstituted Congress Working Committee (CWC) that party president Mallikarjun Kharge announced on Sunday, coinciding with the 79th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Lok Sabha member Shashi Tharoor, who was Mr. Kharge’s rival in the party’s presidential elections last October, as well as Sachin Pilot, who rebelled against his own government in Rajasthan, have been made members of the core CWC that has now been expanded to 39 from the earlier 25.
