Congress president Sonia Gandhi is likely to go to Sriperumbudur on Friday, the anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and return in time for the ceremony.
Sonia will be the chairperson of the CPP. Its constitution was amended at Wednesday's meeting making provisions for a chairperson to be elected by all MPs. Following the amendment, Sonia was unanimously elected chairperson and a resolution was passed authorising her to name the leaders of the two Houses and other office-bearers. Sonia then made a statement committing herself to the party and asking her party men to give their unstinting support to Manmohan Singh. "I am not going anywhere. I am still very much in politics," she said.
