Newly-elected Congress Lok Sabha MPs will meet for the first time in New Delhi today and are likely to elect the leader of its  Parliamentary Party (CPP). All the 52 Lok Sabha MPs are expected to be present at the meeting, besides its members in the Rajya Sabha. The CPP is currently chaired by Sonia Gandhi.

The MPs will also chalk out its strategy for the upcoming session of



Parliament. 

This will be the first official meeting that Congress President Rahul Gandhi will attend after the meeting of the party's working committee held on the 25th of last month, where he offered to quit as Congress chief. The CWC has already rejected his offer to resign and unanimously passed a resolution authorizing him to bring structural changes in the party at all levels in a bid to revamp it.
