Brainstorming session of Congress will held in january
New Delhi: The brainstorming session (Chintan Shivir) of Congress will be held in Jaipur from January 18 to 20 to discuss political and economic situations and seek new ideas ahead of the next Lok Sabha elections.
The AICC meeting will endorse the conclusions arrived at during the brainstorming exercise, the third such ‘Shivir’ since Sonia Gandhi became Congress President in 1998. The earlier two brainstorming sessions were held at Pachmarhi in Madhya Pradesh and Shimla in Himachal Pradesh.
The idea of ‘Chintan Shivir’ was mooted by Sonia Gandhi in the party’s plenary here in December, 2010 but it could not materialise as both the government and the party had battled one crisis after another since then.
It will be held after assembly election results in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh come out and preparations for assembly polls in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Delhi would have commenced.
The ‘Shivir’ will review political and economic situation as well discuss schemes implemented by UPA government in rural and urban areas, Dwivedi said.
