| New Delhi, May 30: Two months after Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was re-appointed its president, the National Advisory Council (NAC) is yet to get its members. And it may still take a few weeks as the party leadership is busy finalising candidates for elections to the Rajya Sabha.
Congress sources say the finalisation of the NAC team is taking time as their leaders are caught up with the high-stakes business of candidates for the biennial elections.
The Congress strength in the upper house, according to insiders, will come down as the party is currently in a position to win 13 seats though the number of its retiring members is 17. The party can win two more seats with the help of regional parties. (IANS) |
