Now, Cong plans a 'Chintan Shivir'

After a ''Chintan Baithak'' in Surajkund, Haryana, the Congress is now gearing up for a much bigger brainstorming exercise at a ''Chintan Shivir'' of the party which is likely to be held in Jaipur, Rajasthan, in mid-January next year.

The brainstorming camp, which was proposed by Congress president Sonia Gandhi in the party’s plenary here in December, 2010, will have representation from the states including chief ministers of the party, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) presidents and Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leaders.

The party’s “Chintan Baithak”, which was held in Surajkund last week, was only meant for top leaders of the party including AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi and ministers at the Centre.
