Former Union minister V.C. Shukla is back at the Congress doorstep, lobbying for a re-entry.

Shukla, who has deserted the Congress four times in the past, has also met AICC treasurer Motilal Vora twice. Vora incidentally heads the Chhattisgarh unit of the Congress.

The former Union minister is currently awaiting a green signal from 10 Janpath.
