Party general secretary Janardan Dwivedi dismissed as “illogical” questions that the meet has been called to anoint Gandhi as the PM candidate.
He said that the agenda for the AICC meet is decided by the Congress Working Committee, which also finalises the draft resolutions which come up before the meet.
Congress MP from Mumbai Priya Dutt told reporters: “We all youngsters are looking towards this session, and if Rahul ji's name is announced, we will be the happiest ones. Right now there is consensus on Rahul ji's name, and he is the only one in the party who is capable for becoming PM. People of the country are looking towards Rahul ji.
“Rahulji's projection is never aggressive. He is always subtle, and is continuously working for the party”, said Priya Dutt.
The AICC meeting was due since the last meeting was held in Jaipur in January this year along with the 'Chintan Shivir' which saw the elevation of Rahul Gandhi as the party Vice President, he said.
Deliberations at AICC meetings are held on the prevailing political situation and on other important issues, he said.
