Raipur, Feb 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Congress steering committee meeting began on Friday in the convention centre at Nava Raipur to discuss and finalise the agenda of the plenary meeting.
The members of the committee arrived in two buses, and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Ajay Maken were in the same bus. Differences had cropped up between the two leaders after the Rajasthan Congress MLAs defied party line and held a parallel meeting in September 2022. A miffed Maken had resigned as the party's General Secretary in-charge of Rajasthan.
Party President Mallikarjun Kharge too arrived at the venue. Sources indicate that the steering committee may decide for the Congress Working Committee (CWC) polls but it may be deferred for a few months and the polls may take place at a later stage.
The Steering Committee will meet in the morning and the Subject Committee in the evening.
The Congress on Thursday said that it is ready to hold elections to the CWC -- the party's top decision-making authority -- where 12 members are elected.
Congress General Secretary Communications in-charge, Jairam Ramesh said: "We can clearly say about it after the Steering Committee has met and decided on the issue... the party is fully prepared for the CWC election."
