Something Big Is Brewing In Congress Party?

The century-old party is trying many formulations and combinations to pose formidable challenges to the ruling party. The cadre is disillusioned: many party leaders have already left, putting personal gain first, and the pace of new joiners is very slow, a source says. Bringing these problems to the party is a serious effort to develop a more cohesive approach and put the party back on the right track, the source says.

 The party president is quite old and not keeping well and travelling for him is also not very easy source says. The party president is required to travel frequently, but old age prevents and from strengthening the top position. The corridors are buzzing with rumours that Sachin Pilot is to be appointed as working president of the party, a source says. Some schools of thought say that party cadre wants Rahul Gandhi to take over as president and Sachin Pilot to be appointed as organising secretary, the number two in party hierarchy, in place of K C Venugopalan, now in the race to become CM of Kerala, if the party wins source says.  These steps are to strengthen the party and put forward formidable challenges to other political parties source says.
