After deliberating upon the report of the eight-member Congress panel that examined poll strategist Prashant Kishor’s revival plan, party president Sonia Gandhi on Monday decided to set up an Empowered Action Group to deal with the political challenges ahead of the 2024 elections.
The party also formally announced the dates for the Navsankalp Chintan Shivir (brainstorming session) in Udaipur between May 13 and 15 where over 400 leaders and workers are expected to debate on the way forward in the run up to 2024.
But the party kept up the suspense on Mr. Kishor’s formal entry into the party after resentment from some senior leaders and its Telangana unit over the election strategist’s firm, Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), singing up to manage the poll campaign of arch rival Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
