Congress President Election After State Polls, Decision After Row At Meet

A new Congress president will be elected after five state elections due by May, it was decided at a top party meeting today after an argument between two groups during which Rahul Gandhi said: "Once and for all, finish it and move on." At a meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), senior leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma, Mukul Wasnik and P Chidambaram reportedly asked for immediate organisational polls. They are among the Congress leaders who have raised uncomfortable questions over the party's leadership and management after multiple election defeats.
