At a time when the BJP is going ahead with a clear-cut political strategy , there is total disarray in the Congress Party at the national level. For the past one year, the party is under the control of a temporary president. Sonia Gandhi is the president of the party for the time being. This is the worst thing to happen for any political party. It is important to clear the confusion and bring some permanence to the affairs of the party.
The Congress Working Committee, the top most decision-making body of the party, is said to be planning to meet soon and take a decision soon on the issue. The majority of the CWC members feel that Sonia Gandhi should continue to lead the party. The party constitution too mandates that Sonia Gandhi needs to be re-elected. So, there is every possibility that she might be asked to continue for another year. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi is said to be still diffident about leading the party. Rahul Gandhi had resigned from the post of the party president in the wake of the severe drubbing the Congress Party had received in the 2019 elections.
Party sources say that the absence of a full-time party president is affecting the overall functioning of the party. The party has been on the defensive on several issues due to the lack of a clear chain of command. Hence, they want some clarity on the issue.
