Entire CWC should be elected: Azad

August 27, 2020 18:00

Ghulam Nabi Azad, senior Congress leader, on the party's internal functioning: "Anyone who has a genuine interest in the internal working dynamics of Congress would welcome our proposal to have every state and district president as being elected. The entire Congress Working Committee should be elected. The intention is to make Congress active and strong. But those who simply got 'appointment cards' continue to oppose our proposal. What's the harm in having elected CWC members who will have stable tenures in the party."

Azad was one of the 23 Congress leaders who wrote to party chief Sonia Gandhi seeking an overhaul in the organisation among other things, on Monday said he was ready to step down if he was in any manner helping the Bharatiya Janata Party or working at its behest.
