To discuss the plan further, Congress has called a meeting of leaders at the party's war room on Friday.
During the earlier tenure of Sonia Gandhi as Congress president, similar activities were initiated leading to the formation of National Advisory Council (NAC).
The NAC was in the role of an advisor to the government during UPA-1. However, the Congress fell through the members of the NAC after 2009. (ANI)
