Congress Chintan Shivir

Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress has blamed the Union Home Minister for usurping the powers of state governments and misusing central agencies against the ruling parties in opposition-ruled states

One month since the Congress drafted a plan for revamp at the Udaipur Chintan Shivir, the party has begun to walk the talk, though the task of electoral revival remains tedious and challenging.

In compliance with the one person, one post decision taken during a Chintan Shivir last month, several Rajasthan Congress leaders resigned from party positions on Wednesday.

Prashant Kishor today posted a savage review for the Congress, the party he almost joined weeks ago, calling its recent "Chintan Shivir" or brainstorming session on a revival plan a "failure".

Rajasthan, which hosted the Congress "Chintan Shivir" last week, will now be the venue for a three-day top-level meet of the BJP.

"They are scared and therefore they are coming here," he said, confident that the people of the state will vote for Congress in the next assembly elections.

The Congress on Wednesday said it will hold state-level "shivirs" across the country on June 1 and 2 to communicate the decisions of the "Udaipur Declaration" adopted after a three-day "Chintan Shivir".

Describing the party's Chintan Shivir as an exercise in reform and revival, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday said "the proof of the pudding is in the eating".

The oldest political party in the country, Congress has spent three days at its version of "The Last Chance saloon" in Udaipur.

Hours after the Congress Working Committee (CWC) gave its approval to the organisational reforms, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday asserted that 'one family, one ticket' rule must be enforced in the party.

Ending her short address to party members on a personal note, Ms Gandhi said she felt like she had spent an evening with her family during the last day of the grand old party's brainstorming session when she got the opportunity to meet them.

The Congress's connect with people has broken down, admitted Rahul Gandhi in a speech to party leaders on Sunday, adding that it has to be rebuilt for the party to take on the BJP as no regional party can fight like the grand old party.

"We will have to accept that our connections have been broken from the masses, the people know that it is the Congress that can lead the nation ahead," he said addressing over a thousand party members.

The Congress Working Committee has approved the one-man-one post rule with expected rider following its Chintan Shivir in Rajasthan. But the proposal for a Parliamentary Board -- a key demand of rebels -- has been shot down.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor today said the discussions of the political committee, set up to deliberate key challenges facing the party and the country at the Chintan Shivir here, saw views "passionately debated" with "amicable solutions found".
