NEW DELHI, Jun 4:
A conference of congress chief ministers has been convened here on June 9 in an apparent exercise to target the Narendra Modi Government for its attitude towards the states ruled by non-BJP parties.
Party chief Sonia Gandhi and Vice President Rahul Gandhi will be present at the deliberations being held at AICC headquarters, Congress communication department chief Randeep Surjewala said.
He said that the agenda for the conclave, the first since the Congress lost power at the Centre in May last year, was being prepared.
Congress is in power in nine states — Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Assam, Mizoram, Manipur, Karnataka, Kerala, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
Sonia Gandhi, who has been at the helm since 1998, had started the practice of organising such party chief ministers conclave when the Congress was in Opposition at the Centre.
The meet is expected to be utilised by the Congress to mount attack on the Modi dispensation on issues concerning states.
Already the Congress President has targetted the Centre and the Prime Minister in Parliament accusing it of “obstinate arrogance”.
Sometime back, she had marched to Rashtrapati Bhavan along with 14 leaders of Opposition in protest against the controversial land acquisition bill. (PTI)
