The demand for a full-time Congress chief has been pending since 2019. Rahul Gandhi, who took over the post from his mother Sonia Gandhi in 2017, stepped down after the 2019 defeat. The Congress has since failed to find a replacement and, thus Sonia Gandhi continues to be the party’s interim chief.
Elections to the post of president have been postponed thrice in the last two years and were recently delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the press note, “In the two-day meeting, there were discussions on topics such as unemployment, rising inflation, farmers problem, national security, selling the country’s properties, and how to fight against the BJP government on these anti-people issues in the coming times.”
