UP Cong leader for holding of special CWC meeting in state

As it prepares for Assembly polls in the key state of Uttar Pradesh next year, a state Congress leader has appealed to party president Sonia Gandhi to convene a special meeting of Congress Working Committee (CWC) to help boost the morale of partymen.
The party's state general secretary Umesh Pandit has written to Gandhi, underlining that such a meeting would help revive the party in the state.
He said the CWC meeting could be held in Lucknow or Allahabad before the monsoon sets in the state.
Congress, which has been out of power for 27 years in the state, has roped in poll strategist Prashant Kishor to assist the Uttar Pradesh unit in preparations for the polls.
