Kharge Completes 8 Months As Congress President: Why is He Still Without a CWC?

The Quint  

Kharge was officially elected as the President on 26 October 2022, but the plenary session didn’t take place until February 2023, because of a number of delays. Then in February, the Congress’ steering committee, in its meeting, concluded that Kharge be given the authority to nominate a CWC of his liking, and do away with the elections. This is because in the 2-day Raipur plenary session, which took place immediately after the Steering Committee’s meet, it was decided that 50 per cent of all posts as well as the CWC would be reserved for those under 50 years of age and for OBCs, Dalits, tribals, minorities, women. This has also led to very serious attempts at lobbying for a berth not just in the CWC but also for different AICC posts, party sources told The Quint.
