During the 85th Plenary Session of the Indian National Congress, a significant decision was taken during the Steering Committee meeting. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh in Raipur, Chhattisgarh announced that every member tabled their opinion, and with everyone’s consent, the committee decided to grant the party president the power to select members of the Congress Working Committee (CWC).

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that the decision was taken to ensure that the Congress party’s organizational structure is strengthened. He further added that the move will enable the party president to select a competent and effective team to lead the party.
The decision to allow the party president to select CWC members was made after careful consideration and discussion among the party members. The move is expected to bring more transparency in the selection process and ensure that competent and deserving members are given important responsibilities.
