New Delhi, 25/6: Mallikarjun Kharge, who completes eight months as Congress president on Monday, had got a blanket approval during the Raipur Plenary exactly three months ago to nominate the party’s Working Committee but the wait for the 35-member panel still continues.
Congress sources said the announcement of the panel is expected “very soon” and “last minute consultations” are on while leaders who expect themselves to have a seat at the party’s high table are into hectic lobbying.
At present, Kharge is working with a ‘Steering Committee’, constituting the members of the Congress Working Committee appointed by his predecessor Sonia Gandhi. He has also not made major changes in the list of office bearers
