The crucial meeting, which takes place before the general elections will deliberate on poll strategy and candidate selection and will have three members of the Gandhi family attending — Congress president Rahul Gandhi, his mother and predecessor Sonia Gandhi and his sister newly-inducted general secretary of Uttar Pradesh (East) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
