CONG HAS CAPABILITY, LEADERSHIP TO REFORM FROM WITHIN: HOODA

New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Friday asserted that the party has the capability and the leadership to reform itself from within, remarks that come days after the breakdown of talks between the party and poll strategist Prashant Kishor who had proposed largescale overhaul of the organisation. In an interview with PTI ahead of the party's three-day 'Chintan Shivir' starting in Rajasthan's Udaipur on Friday, Hooda, who was among the 23 leaders who wrote to party chief Sonia Gandhi for organisational overhaul in 2020, exuded confidence that the brainstorming session would throw up solutions to all the issues facing the party.

Noting that the process of organisational elections was on, the former Haryana CM said the parliamentary board existed in the party earlier also and should be there, but added that it was an issue that is to be dealt with after the ongoing organisational polls.
