UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi Saturday said several "decisive measures" were being mulled to strengthen the party after being re-elected as the leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) at a meeting of party MPs at the Central Hall of Parliament.
The meeting was attended by the party's 52 newly elected Lok Sabha MPs and Rajya Sabha members, besides members of the Congress Working Committee and other senior leaders.
