Steering committee authorises Kharge to nominate CWC members

Raipur: The Congress Steering Committee unanimously decided on Friday not to hold the CWC polls and authorised party chief Mallikarjun Kharge to nominate its members. The party also proposed an amendment to its constitution to include the former Congress PMs and former AICC chiefs as permanent members of the CWC, a move that would ensure the automatic inclusion of Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the party’s highest decisionmaking body.
