#POLTICS:
Sonia Gandhi said she was “a full-time and hands-on Congress president”, adding that she “always appreciated frankness” and “there is no need to speak to me through the media”.
At the first meeting of the Working Committee (CWC) in five months, Sonia Gandhi sent an unambiguous message that the reins of the party remain firmly in the family’s hands, while indicating her disapproval of leaders of the G-23 who have been demanding “full-time and effective leadership” for the party. Gandhi said she was “a full-time and hands-on Congress president”, adding that she “always appreciated frankness” and “there is no need to speak to me through the media”.
As per the schedule for organisational elections approved by the top decision-making body of the party on Saturday, Gandhi will continue as interim president for nearly a year more, with polls for the post of AICC president to take place between August 21 and September 20, 2022.
