Congress dissenters' demand to revive the party's parliamentary board has made it to the list of suggestions to be examined by the Congress Working Committee (CWC), but is unlikely to be accepted, sources said.
"There is a demand (for a Congress parliamentary board) but it is unlikely to be accepted by the CWC as it is seen as diminishing the powers of the Congress president," a party leader said.
CWC is the highest decision-making body of the Congress.
The parliamentary board, mechanism of which is enshrined in the Congress constitution, was discontinued after P V Narasimha Rao took over as Prime Minister. It has not been revived since.
