"You have given me the responsibility to nominate a new CWC. Nominating the members is not as easy as it seems. Since you have reposed faith in my leadership, someone should be ready to bear the loss (of CWC membership)," Gandhi said in her closing remarks at the AICC session in New Delhi.

But in words of encouragement, she smilingly said that party workers do get an opportunity if they have patience. "dhiraj rakho, kabhi na kabhi number aayega" (Have patience your turn will come), she said.

Gandhi mentioned that there were always complaints over some missing the bus and others getting a seat.

She said since it was a short AICC session, not many issues were touched in detail. "But in the plenary, all issues will be discussed in detail," she said.
