Congress Chintan Shivir Update: Two terms of Rajya Sabha per Congress leader? This is one of the proposals that the party’s top brass is deliberating upon at the ongoing Nav Sankalp Chintan Shivir in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
Apart from ‘One Family, One Ticket’, Congress’ organisation panel is also contemplating fixing term limits as far as Rajya Sabha members are concerned.
A Congress Working Committee (CWC) member privy to the discussions said, “There is a proposal before the panel that two Rajya Sabha terms per Congress leader needs to be fixed. After that they can contest in Lok Sabha or assembly elections, but they shouldn’t be considered for the third term in Rajya Sabha.”
Not just Rajya Sabha term, there is a proposal that the tenure of all office-bearers from the block and district levels to the All India Congress Committee (AICC) should be fixed for five years. This should be followed by a cooling period of three years.
Sources said that after the completion of the tenure, office bearers will have to resign or vacate their post for other leaders. “These leaders can be accommodated within the organization and can be given other work,” said a panel member.
Congress General Secretary Ajay Maken mentioned the same proposal on Friday and added, “Any person who is holding the post continuously has to step down and a cooling period of three years in the case that person comes back to the same post.”
