New Delhi: The Congress has decided to focus on the issues of unemployment, price rise, reservation for the economically weaker sections, among others, in the upcoming Winter Session of the Parliament that starts from Wednesday.
“Congress is in favour of caste census, it's necessary to get it done. There were talks on EWS reservation, since three judges of Supreme Court agreed on the amendment and two have raised questions on it. Congress will demand to reconsider it and would like to have a debate in Parliament,” news agency ANI quoted Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications, Jairam Ramesh as saying.

It is to be noted that the Congress leaders held a meeting at the residence of party leader Sonia Gandhi to chalk out their strategy for the Parliament session.
“In today's meeting, issues of unemployment, Minimum Support Price (MSP) guarantee for farmers, price rise, inflation, cyber crime, tension being created between judiciary and Centre, the weakening of the Rupee, lower exports and air pollution in north India among others were discussed,” Jairam Ramesh further said.
The Winter Session, that begins a day before the counting of votes for the Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat Assembly elections, will last until December 29.
According to reports, senior leader Rahul Gandhi and some other leaders who are with him on the ongoing 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', that is currently moving from central to northern India, might not be able to attend the Parliament session.
The Winter Session will be held in the existing Parliament building and not in the new one that was expected to be ready by now.
It is to be noted that the session also had to be delayed by a month due to the Gujarat election schedule.
