Srinagar, Aug 08 (KNO): All India Congress Committee (AICC) senior leader and party's General Secretary (Organization), K C Venugopal on Thursday chaired a meeting of leaders from Jammu & Kashmir and discussed preparedness for the forthcoming assembly elections.
The meeting, the sources informed the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) was attended by nearly a dozen leaders from J&K including G A Mir, Tariq Hameed Karra, JKPCC President Vikar Rasool Wani, Raman Bhalla, G N Monga and others. It was held at the party's headquarters this evening.
J&K Congress Working President Raman Bhalla, confirming the meeting with AICC senior leader, said they were asked about the poll preparations in Jammu & Kashmir.
"We have informed the chair that the party will be contesting the elections with full might," he said.
