NEW DELHI: Congress is set to call a meeting of senior leaders to discuss organisational overhaul and to follow up on the discussion held earlier in December that was widely seen as an outreach to "letter writers" besides brainstorming on the political crisis facing the party and the need for rejuvenation.
Party sources said Congress leaders, including a senior representative of the letter writers group, have been holding discussions on the suggestions made during the marathon five-hour long cogitation held on December 19 that was chaired by party chief Sonia Gandhi and was also attended by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
It is learnt that AICC general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal and veteran Ambika Soni, both members of the committee to advise the Congress chief, have met Ghulam Nabi Azad on a couple of occasions to discuss finer points. The next gathering, which is still to be scheduled, will be a "follow up".
Going by Congress standards, such a quick follow-up would imply a sense of urgency in the party. Sources said the next meeting is likely to discuss organisational elections, which means the AICC session to be held for election of the new party president.
