The Congress Party feels that some of the key decisions taken at the AICC or the Congress Working Committee meetings are leaking real time. This only means that someone from the top brass is keeping his phone on and is allowing the deliberations and details of some of the very important decisions to leak to the rivals. The political rivals, especially the BJP is able to get the information as soon as it happens and is planning counter moves quickly.
Realising this, the Congress Party has now decided not to allow any telephone or mobile into the secret meetings of the party. On Sunday, when the Congress top brass sat to discuss the situation in Maharashtra, Sonia Gandhi asked everyone to keep their mobiles outside the hall. Many Congress leaders were surprised at this sudden order but, complied obediently. Sonia Gandhi, it is said, has asked the leaders not to discuss the contents of the meeting with anyone. She warned them against leaking information.
On Sunday, the Congress Party has also alleged that the mobile phone of Priyanka Gandhi was hacked and some people were misusing the hacked information. The Government and the BJP have hotly denied this.
