Here are the proposals cleared on Day 2 of the Congress 'Chintan Shivir' in Udaipur:
At a news briefing on Day 2 of the three-day 'Chintan Shivir' brainstorming session in Rajasthan's Udaipur, where the Congress is working on strategies to revive its flagging electoral fortunes, party leader K Raju listed some of the changes discussed.
"Organisational reforms will be introduced in the party for social justice and empowerment," he said, announcing the reservation proposal cleared by a panel on social justice and empowerment. It will need to be ratified at the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting tomorrow.
The party also discussed setting up a social justice advisory council to assist the Congress president that will look at issues and give recommendations, the party leader said.
A special session of the Congress Working Committee will be called once every six months for weaker sections, Mr Raju said.
"At a national policy level, we want a caste-based census to be taken up. Reservations in private sector for SC and ST and OBC. And in the Women's Reservation Bill, we want a provision for SC and ST women," he said.
