Polling for Cong chief post today

Polling will be held in the offices of the Pradesh Congress committees and sealed ballot boxes will be brought here for counting which will be taken up on November 15.

The result is expected to be declared by chairman of the central election authority Ram Niwas Mirdha later the same day. Gandhi, who took over from the then party president Sitaram Kesri in a dramatic manner three years ago, got her election ratified by the AICC plenary in Calcutta later and is being propagated as the "official candidate" for the coveted post.
