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).
The CWC is the highest decision-making body of the Indian National Congress. It consists of 25 permanent members and 12 special invitees. The CWC is responsible for deciding the party’s strategy, policy, and program. The decision to give the party president the power to select CWC members is crucial as it will have a significant impact on the party’s future.
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.
The decision was taken during the 85th Plenary Session of the Indian National Congress, which was held from 17th to 18th March 2018. The plenary session was attended by Congress leaders from all over the country.
