NEW DELHI: Notwithstanding Sonia Gandhi declaring her son Rahul to lead the Congress Party’s election campaign, he already heads an overarching 6-member election coordination committee tasked with all poll matters, including the election campaign.
The committee was constituted back in November 2012, even before he was elevated as the party’s vice-president and it was announced that all AICC general secretaries and the PCC chiefs will report to him on all matters concerning the elections.
Five other members of this most powerful committee are: Sonia’s political secretary Ahmed Patel, general secretaries Janardan Dwivedi, Madhusudan Mistry and union minister Jairam Ramesh.
