The buzz doing the rounds is that a massive organisational overhaul is on the cards that could mark the end of centralised control and beginning of a more democratic, district-driven Congress.

Party insiders said this isn't expected to be just another strategy meet...it's going to be a move towards restructuring Congress from the ground up. "There's a serious effort to decentralise the organisation," said a senior AICC functionary. District presidents were recently consulted to determine whether their voices are truly being heard, he added.
