Rejecting former senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad’s allegation that the Congress’s presidential polls are a farce, the party’s central election authority chief Madhusudan Mistry told The Hindu on Tuesday that there should not be any doubt in anyone’s mind about the fairness of the electoral process.
Senior leaders like Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Anand Sharma and Prithviraj Chavan, who have been members of G-23 or the ginger group that has been pushing for an elected Congress Working Committee (CWC) besides an elected party chief, informally met to discuss the upcoming presidential elections and later called on Mr. Azad, who quit the Congress last week.
