Congress party on Friday started a three-day Chintan Shivir (brainstorming session) in Udaipur, Rajasthan by discussing the party's organization and formulating a strategy to challenge the BJP in the upcoming 2024 general elections.

       Congress leader Ajay Maken said, "Any person who is holding a post for five years should have to step down, and there should be a cooling period of at least 3 years for that person to come back on the same post. For more than five years a person should not be on the same post".
