CWC Meeting: Rahul Gandhi questions timing of letter

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday questioned timing of demand for a change in party leadership at the crucial Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting and accused dissenting groups within the party of colluding with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Taking a tough stand on the leaked letter demanding a change party’s organisational structure including a new president, Gandhi reprimanded the ‘dissenters’ at the CWC meeting and said he is “deeply hurt”.

During the crucial Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, Gandhi asked, “Why was the letter (over party leadership) sent at a time when Sonia Gandhi was admitted in the hospital?”
