										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KC Venugopal, the organization&#8217;s general secretary, made an emotional outburst at a post-Congress Working Committee (CWC) press conference last week, exposing the party&#8217;s profound divisions despite Sonia Gandhi&#8217;s call for unity. &#8220;Rahul Gandhi is unique, and everyone knows that Sonia Gandhi makes all the decisions,&#8221; he remarked.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The group of 23 (G23) dissenting members are irritated and upset after Sonia Gandhi launched a two-pronged attack, the first inside the CWC meeting and the second at the press conference. According to sources, the meeting was organized not to appease the rebels, but to make it obvious to them that public statements from them were no longer acceptable.</p>
