The Congress in the last few months had made several appointments giving a glimpse of what Rahul Gandhi, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha has been advocating and voicing his concern for over last two years.

The Congress sources said that the idea of giving more representation to Other Backward Classes (OBC) is of Rahul Gandhi.

The source said that the idea is to reflect Rahul Gandhi's vision of proportional representation within the organization, as party's srijan sangathan (rejig in organisation) is already on.
