Truce is being worked out between G-23 leaders and the Congress leadership in the party ahead of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting slated for Saturday. The CWC, which is the highest decision making body of the party, is likely to give a nod to the organisational polls, which is the key demand of the dissenting group.
The Congress's top body will meet on October 16 to hold talks over new chief, "current political situation", and state elections next year, the party said this afternoon in a statement.
The decision to hold the meeting comes after G-23 member and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad wrote a fresh letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi asking her to convene an urgent meeting of the top body.
The Congress Working Committee (CWC) will meet "very soon", the party said today, a day after senior leaders demanded the meeting amid multiple desertions and turmoil in the party.
