The Congress G-23 leaders, who had earlier called for sweeping reforms in the party, held a meeting here on Wednesday at the residence of former union minister Ghulam Nabi Azad in the wake of the party’s debacle in the assembly polls to five states.
After the meeting, the statement issued by the leaders said, “We the following members of the Congress Party met to deliberate on the demoralising outcome of the recent results of the Assembly elections and constant exodus of both our workers and leaders. We believe that the only way forward is for the Congress to adopt the model of collective and inclusive leadership and decision making at all levels.
“In order to oppose the BJP it is necessary to strengthen the Congress party. We demand the Congress party to initiate dialogue with other likeminded forces to create a platform to pave the way for a credible alternative for 2024. The next steps will be announced soon.”
This is the second meeting of G-23 leaders in a week.
