In the run-up to the Assembly polls in October this year, the Congress high command will seek Maharashtra leaders’ feedback on Friday. The meeting is crucial in view of the MVA partners’, especially the Shiv Sena (UBT)’s, demand for the highest share of 288 seats. The meeting at Garware Club will be attended by the party’s National General Secretary (Organisation), K C Venugopal, and state In-charge General Secretary, Ramesh Chennithala.

After meeting with senior leaders, the duo will proceed to the state Congress headquarters, Tilak Bhavan, to meet with MPs, legislators, state and district Congress members, Mumbai Congress leaders, and office-bearers of frontal organisations. Other senior leaders will also be present.
