New Delhi: Congress chief Sonia Gandhi is all set to address a Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) general body meeting on Wednesday, where she is expected to unveil the party's strategy on the way ahead, with focus on the upcoming assembly polls in five states, including Uttar Pradesh.
This will be the first CPP meeting to be addressed by Sonia in the last few months, as the Congress President had skipped the monsoon session in July-August on account of ill health.
Sonia, who is also UPA Chairperson, had gone abroad for surgery for an unspecified ailment at that time.
The CPP meeting is also being held at a time when the Lokpal Bill is being debated intensely. Sonia will be addressing the party MPs against the backdrop of FDI in retail being put on hold and key allies calling for greater coordination in the UPA.
After the suspension of the decision allowing FDI in retail, the talk in UPA is that Congress will have to walk the extra mile on all major issues to keep the allies on board.
Sonia's address at the CPP meet is also expected to highlight the broad contours of the party's strategy for the assembly elections in five states including in the crucial state of Uttar Pradesh where Rahul Gandhi is leading the campaign charge of 'Mission 2012'.
