| Cong sharpens strategy for general elections | | | New Delhi | Sep 2
Congress has lined up a series of meetings to finetune strategies for elections in key states culminating in the Lok Sabha polls and its chief Sonia Gandhi has asked party to be ready for the Jammu and Kashmir elections.
The AICC is even finalising an ad agency within a fortnight in connection with the publicity work for the polls.
A meeting of the extended Congress Working Committee(CWC) is scheduled on September 13 which will be a sort of brainstorming session of senior leaders to generate new ideas and decide future strategies.
Central Screening Committees of the election going states are completing their work by September 15.
The Committee for Rajasthan is meeting on September 4 while that of Madhya Pradesh the next day.
Gandhi, during her discussions with party general secretaries yesterday, made it clear that the party should not be complacent in its preparedness for J and K polls by thinking that the elections there could be delayed.
Party sources said that she suggested that the party had already had a bitter experience in Karnataka where a section felt that the Assembly polls could be delayed in view of the delimitation of the constituencies.
Party General Secretary Digvijay Singh said the Congress would not be projecting anyone as the Chief Ministerial candidate in the election going states.
He said that elections in India are different and not like the presidential elections where a candidate has to be projected. |
