Hyderabad: The Congress on Saturday resolved to make the INDIA bloc an "ideological and electoral success" to free the country from "divisive politics" and ensure that people get a government that is sensitive and accountable.

The party made the assertion in a resolution adopted by the Congress Working Committee, which held its first meeting after being reconstituted.

In its resolution, the Congress Working Committee (CWC), which is the party's highest decision-making party, expressed grave concern at the "increasing unemployment and continuous rise in prices, especially of essential commodities".

'One Nation, One Election' is assault on Constitution, federalism' The Congress on Saturday rejected the 'One Nation, One Election' idea, calling it an assault on the Constitution and federalism.

Party leader P Chidambaram said the BJP does not have the numbers to pass the required constitutional amendments for holding simultaneous polls.

His remarks come days after the government set up an eight-member highlevel committee to examine and make recommendations at the earliest.
