The One-Family-One-Ticket rule may resurface as a point of discussion at the Congress's brainstorming session in Rajasthan's Udaipur - with one key rider - as the party meets over the weekend at a massive retreat to hammer out a strategy to revive its electoral fortunes, sources have told NDTV.
The controversial rule was among the proposals discussed at the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting led by chief Sonia Gandhi in Delhi on Monday, ahead of the three-day 'Chintan Shivir' in Udaipur, a party leader said.
If cleared at the mega party gathering in Udaipur, however, it may not apply to the Gandhis, they said.
The party may also usher a revival of the parliamentary board to help in collective decision-making, a leader said, as well as call for alignment of all political opposition parties to take on the BJP in 2024 elections and counter "the politics of hatred".
The Congress will also strive to focus on unemployment and the rising cost-of-living crisis and not allow divisive and communal campaigns to take over as observed in the past few elections, they said.
The party is also likely to considering a separate election wing for managing and coordinating election campaigns, headed by a general secretary and setting up of a training institute for party leaders and workers.
It will deliberate on drawing in more young leaders below 50 years of age with at least half of internal positions reserved for them.

Sonia Gandhi will be addressing and setting the tone for the group discussions on all these proposals.
