Congress fails to inspire hopes of revival despite Chintan Shivir’s lofty goals

The Hindu  

Published : May 29, 2022 06:00 IST On May 24, 2022, approximately a week after the Congress held a “Nav Sankalp Chintan Shivir“, the party initiated a handful of measures described by many of its leaders as the first concrete steps aimed at advancing the new ideas formulated at the Shivir. Sibal had also joined hands with a group of 22 other senior Congress leaders forming what was informally termed as “Group of 23”, or, which included Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma and Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Clearly, this ensures that multiple members of the Nehru- Gandhi family qualify for the party ticket, so also members of many other “Congress families”. The committees were the “Political Affairs Group”, the “Task Force-2024”, and the “Central Planning Group”, whose immediate task would be to plan the “Bharat Jodo Yatra”.
