All the six committees - political, economy, organisation, agriculture, youth and social justice and empowerment - are brainstorming the issues related to the organisation and the current political situation in depth.

The Congress is all set to take decisions that will alter the way the principal opposition party functions. This will include changes at both the top and the bottom levels of the organisation.

Just hours ahead of the Nav Sankalp Shivir in Udaipur, Congress General Secretary Ajay Maken set the stage for “big bang” changes that will be initiated to revamp the party after the “Udaipur Declaration” is passed by the working committee on Sunday.
