Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Friday (March 18) that he shared some suggestions with party chief Sonia Gandhi during his meeting at her residence.
Amid G-23 leaders’ call for revamp in Congress following the poll debacle in five states, Azad met Gandhi at 10 Janpath to resolve the inner conflict in the party.
“The meeting with Sonia Gandhi was good. All members of the Congress party decided unanimously that she should continue as the president, we just had some suggestions that were shared,” Azad was quoted as saying by ANI.
Azad said he also discussed fighting the forthcoming elections unitedly. “Mrs Gandhi keeps having discussions with leaders to strengthen the organisation. A few days ago the working committee had met and suggestions were asked as to how to strengthen the Congress party and what were the reasons for the defeat (in five assembly polls). I had also given my suggestions,” Azad added.
