The demand for nationwide caste censun is expected to dominate CWC meeting in Delhi.

Caste census, poll preparedness to dominate discussions at Congress Working Committee meet

The demand for a nationwide caste census is expected to dominate the CWC meeting in Delhi.

A nationwide caste census and poll strategies are set to dominate the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting here on Monday, with assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram set to be announced soon.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, chief ministers of all the Congress-ruled states and the party top brass will deliberate on election preparedness and narratives across the poll-bound states at length, besides holding extensive discussions on the party's firm pitch for the nationwide caste census and its implications.
There are concerns within the Congress with respect to the articulation of its demand for the caste census, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently accusing the opposition party of attempting to divide Hindus through its push for the Other Backward Classes (OBC).
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi, who is also a regular CWC member, raised concerns recently over Rahul Gandhi's "jitni abaadi, utna haq" (rights proportionate to population) slogan, arguing that it amounts to an endorsement of majoritarianism.
Although Singhvi quickly deleted his controversial post on X after the Congress distanced itself from his remarks, concerns remain among a section of the party as to the articulation of the politically sensitive call for the caste census.
Meanwhile, the ruling BJP has escalated its attacks against the Congress, saying the party has never been in favour of a caste census with late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi opposing the Mandal Commission in Parliament.
The Congress has taken a principled stand to push for the caste census in order to counter the BJP's Hindutva agenda.
After Bihar released the findings of a caste census in the state, Congress-ruled Rajasthan issued orders on Saturday for holding a similar exercise.
In Chhattisgarh too, the Congress has announced that it will conduct a caste census if it is voted to power again.
Congress-ruled Karnataka has already announced the census and is likely to come out with its results later this year.
On the agenda at Monday's CWC meet is firming up the party's strategy in the five poll-bound states.
The Congress is seeking to retain its governments in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan and hoping to wrest power from the BJP in Madhya Pradesh, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana and Mizo National Front (MNF) in Mizoram.
The CWC meet comes at a time when some opposition leaders are facing heat from central agencies and the latest in a series of arrests is of AAP's Sanjay Singh in the Delhi excise policy case.
The Congress has condemned Singh's arrest but also pointed to similar action against its leaders in Punjab by the AAP government there, the latest being the arrest of its farmers' wing head Sukhpal Khaira in a drugs-related case.
The meeting of the top decision-making body of the Congress comes just over three weeks after the first meeting of the reconstituted CWC was held in Hyderabad on September 16 to evolve a strategy for the assembly polls in the five states and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The chief ministers of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh, besides the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leaders in the five poll-bound states, will attend the CWC meet.
The CWC has 39 regular members, 32 permanent invitees and 13 special invitees, including 15 women and several new faces.

No election for CWC; Congress chief Kharge to nominate members 

Several members expressed their views both in favour and against the polls to CWC, he told reporters.

&nbsp;The Congress steering committee on Friday unanimously decided to authorise party president Mallikarjun Kharge to nominate all members of the working committee, the party's highest decision making body.
Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh said the committee freely discussed the matter of CWC elections and almost all 45 members present at the meeting unanimously decided to authorise the Congress president to nominate members.
Several members expressed their views both in favour and against the polls to CWC, he told reporters.
"We are fully confident that all AICC and PCC delegates will support this unanimous decision," he said.

Ramesh also said that the plenary will also decide on bringing 16 amendments to 32 rules and regulations of the party's constitution.
"All former prime ministers of the Congress party and former presidents will be given representation in the Working Committee," he said, giving details of amendments to be brought about in the constitution of the party.

"The CWC unanimously reaffirms its faith in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi" - this is what the Congress announced after a meeting of its top decision-making body to discuss the party's miserable performance in the recent elections.
The Congress Working Committee, or CWC, dismissed speculation that the Gandhis might face questions for the party's consecutive defeats. Instead, the body asked Sonia Gandhi to "lead from the front".
After a 5-hour marathon meeting, the CWC announced a 'chintan shivir' or brainstorming session of senior leaders. The shivir will be held after the next Parliament session which begins on March 14.
The CWC also said that the party was unable to "effectively expose the misrule of BJP state governments in 4 states". The CWC admitted that it was not able to overcome anti-incumbency in Punjab in the "short time after effecting a change of leadership".
In the recent polls, the Congress lost power in Punjab, while failing to secure victory in Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Goa, and Uttarakhand. The party failed to even emerge as a strong Opposition in these states. In Uttar Pradesh, where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was leading the campaign, the Congress won only 2 seats out of 403.
