Cong Plenary Session: Steering Committee meet today, Gandhis might skip it
A meeting of the steering committee will be held on Friday morning to decide the agenda of the plenary session.
Congress’ interim chief Sonia Gandhi offered to “step back” from her role as the Congress Working Committee met on Sunday for an over five-hour-long discussion on the fall-out of the recent Assembly polls but the party’s highest decision authority did not accept it.
Sources said she indicated that she may step back if the CWC wants but the CWC did not endorse it.
