New Delhi: Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday met more leaders of the dissident ‘G-23 group’ of leaders including Anand Sharma, Manish Tewari and Vivek Tankha as she continues efforts to resolve internal issues days after the party performed poorly in elections to five state assemblies.According to news agency PTI, Sharma and Tewari during the meeting suggested ways to strengthen the party and revive it to help take on the BJP in the next round of elections. According to the Indian Express, the dissenting leaders said the party’s top leadership should “not rely on a select few to run the affairs of the party and must establish a collective decision-making model”.PTI added that Sonia Gandhi is likely to meet some more leaders of the G-23 in the coming days.Tuesday’s interaction was part of the series of meetings that the Congress top leadership is having with some of the leaders who have raised critical organisational issues and have suggested measures to revamp the party.G-23 is a group of dissenting Congress leaders who have been demanding an organisational overhaul and have been critical of the party leadership. They have also questioned some of the decisions taken by the party leadership, including alliances with some regional outfits.The meetings are being held amidst indications that some of the G-23 leaders may be accommodated in the Congress Working Committee or a new body like the Parliamentary Board, which will be responsible for all policy decisions including finalising chief ministerial candidates and tie-ups with like-minded parties in states.The group is also reportedly seeking the ouster of some Rahul Gandhi loyalists from key All India Congress Committee (AICC) positions, like general secretary Organisation K.C. Venugopal, chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala and general secretary Ajay Maken. Sources said one or more may be shifted to placate the dissident group.While Anand Sharma is the deputy leader of the party in the Rajya Sabha, Tewari is the Lok Sabha MP from Anandpur Sahib in Punjab.Ghulam Nabi Azad, whom Gandhi met on March 18, met some other leaders of the grouping, PTI reported.PTI quoted unnamed source sas saying that the leadership is open to suggestions from the G-23 and has reached out to them in a bid to resolve the differences within and work out a resolution to strengthen the party.Last week, Gandhi had personally called up Azad and held discussions with him, days after the informal meeting of the G-23 on March 16 said the “only way forward for the Congress was to adopt a model of inclusive and collective leadership and decision making at all levels.”The sources in the G23 said they want to strengthen the Congress and “not undermine it in any way”. In the past, their criticism of failure of leadership has been construed as their demand that the Gandhis should step away from top leadership positions.(With PTI inputs)
