Congress CEC authorises Kharge, Sonia Gandhi to decide remaining candidates
The Congress has so far announced more than 280 seats and the party is yet to announce any candidate in Haryana
The Central Election Committee (CEC) of the Congress on Sunday authorised party president Mallikarjun Kharge and former chief Sonia Gandhi to decide the remaining candidates of the party for the Lok Sabha election.
The Congress has so far announced more than 280 seats. The party is yet to announce any candidate in Haryana. The CEC was scheduled to take up the remaining seats in Bihar, Haryana and Punjab. Amethi and Raebareli, the two remaining seats in UP, were not officially on the agenda of the meeting.
In the CEC meeting, Kharge and Gandhi also held an exclusive meeting for 15-20 minutes while other members of the poll panel waited outside the meeting room. “No one knows what transpired during that discussion as even tea or water was not allowed in,” said a senior leader.
