After being decimated in the five states that went to polls recently, the meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the highest decision-making body of the party, will be held on Sunday (March 13) at 4 PM at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office in Delhi. Congress was trounced in four states of Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Goa and Uttarakhand and lost Punjab to Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP.
Earlier on Friday, senior leaders of the Congress party who are part of Group 23, who had questioned the party leadership and sought organisational overhaul, met at Ghulam Nabi Azad`s residence and discussed the successive defeats of the party in Assembly and Parliamentary elections. As per PTI sources, the leaders discussed the future and revival of the Congress, which has become even "more marginalised and isolated". Besides Azad, former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, party MPs Anand Sharma, Kapil Sibal, Manish Tewari and Akhilesh Prasad Singh were present in the meeting.
