Virbhadra bats for consensus in Cong working

SHIMLA: On the second day of Congress convention in Shimla on Monday, Himachal Pradesh chief minister Virbhadra Singh said that elections to the State Congress Committee should be held with the common consensus of all party leaders and in free and fair manner by taking into confidence all party leaders. He said that there was need for holding such conventions at the grassroots level from time to time for better coordination amongst the workers and the party leadership.
The three-day convention is being held in Shimla to take feedback from the leaders and workers to remove loopholes in the organizational setup and to gear up for the 2017 assembly elections. AICC general secretary and party in-charge for Himachal Pradesh Ambika Soni on Sunday had said that based on the feedback action plan would be prepared and report would be presented to the party high command.
While interacting with media persons, Virbhadra said that all those who had been expelled from the party should be taken back so as to strengthen the party by rising above petty political considerations and keeping into account the hard work and efforts they had made while in the party.
He said there was need for such meetings right from the block level so that people could have their say in party matters.
