Hectic activity was seen at the hotel in the heart of the city with the arrival of top leadership of the party for the first-ever CWC meeting in Hyderabad.
This is the first meeting of CWC after the 84-member body was reconstituted last month by Mallikarjun Kharge, who was elected party president in October last year.
The meeting will deliberate and formulate a strategy for the upcoming Assembly polls in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram.

The party will also hold a mega public rally near Hyderabad on September 17 evening.
To be addressed by the top leadership, the meeting will unveil five guarantees for the Telangana Assembly election. The meeting coincides with September 17, which marks the anniversary of erstwhile Hyderabad State’s accession to the Indian Union.
After the public meeting, the Congress president will flag off the cavalcade of CWC members, PCC presidents and CLP leaders who will visit each of the 119 assembly constituencies of Telangana, for a night stay and participate in the party programmes on September 18 in the respective Assembly segments allotted to them.
