Sonia To Appear On Dd

Since, under the Election Commissions directions, each party is given time according to its strength in earlier elections, the Congress will get enough time to field a number of leaders. Party President Sitaram Kesri will get top billing, with 20 minutes, but the leaders decided that Gandhi should also speak.

Among others who will speak for the party are Manmohan Singh, Pranab Mukherjee, Arjun Singh, Madhavrao Scindia, Speaker PA Sangma, party Vice-president Jitendra Prasada, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Najma Heptulla, party Treasurer Ahmed Patel, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Rajesh Pilot.
