Mallikarjun Kharge association. Shashi Tharoor, Anand Sharma, and Mukul Wasnik, who were among the group of 23 leaders who questioned the leadership of the party under Sonia Gandhi in 2020, are among the joint members of the new CWC.
Former Punjab Ministers Charanjit Singh Channi and Pratibha Singh were also included in the important council.
The CWC was formed a few months after Kharge became party chairman on October 10 last year and replaced the steering committee established as an interim deal.
