New Delhi:  Rahul Gandhi will chair his first meeting of the Congress Working Committee as party president today.

The CWC will accord a warm welcome to the new president and likely discuss the current political situation, including the ramifications of the Congress strong performance in the Gujarat Assembly polls for the party in future.

The 2G spectrum case judgement acquitting all the accused is also likely to be discussed. The BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had used the alleged scam to the hilt while mounting a fierce campaign against the Congress in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

The meeting would also discuss the situation arising out of the continued face-off between the government and the main opposition Congress over Modi’s remark against former PM Dr Manmohan Singh suggesting that he colluded with some current and former Pakistani officials to influence the Gujarat polls.

Though Rahul Gandhi has chaired CWC meetings in the past in the absence of his mother Sonia Gandhi, it will be for the first time that he will preside over it as Congress president.
Gandhi was elected unopposed as Congress chief on December 11 and assumed the party’s reins on December 16.
