Rahul Gandhi takes train to Udaipur to participate in 3-day Congress Chintan Shivir
New Delhi/IBNS: A trainload of Congress leaders and workers, led by MP Rahul Gandhi, left for Udaipur on Thursday to take part in the three-day Chintan Shivir, where a road map for the party's way ahead is going to be discussed along with the issue of the leadership.
The mega meeting comes days after the party held extensive discussions with political strategist Prashant Kishor, who made detailed presentations regarding the revival of the party, but later declined the offer of joining it.

"The fact that we are holding the shivir is in itself a message that the Congress president means business," senior party leader Randeep Surjewala had said on Monday.
With a huge section of Gandhi family loyalists hoping that Rahul Gandhi formally makes a comeback as party chief and the G-23, batting for a non-Gandhi leader, the Chintan Shivir discussions are expected to grab attention over the weekend.
At Monday's meeting of the Working Committee, party chief Sonia Gandhi had sent out a clear signal to critics, saying self-criticism is needed in party forums and it should not be done to weaken self-confidence and morale.
