New Delhi: Congress President Sonia Gandhi has called a meeting of general secretaries, state in-charges and PCC chiefs on October 26.
According to sources, the membership campaign, preparation for Jan Jagran Abhiyan and forthcoming Assembly elections would be put on the agenda at the meeting to be held at All India Congress Committee (AICC) Headquarters. All state leaders are expected to brief the central leadership about the current political situation in view of the upcoming polls.
This is in line with the process of organizational polls which will start from November 1, which was decided in the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meet, held last week. During the CWC meeting, the party had also decided to start 'Jan Jagran Abhiyan' from November 14, the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

The Central Election Committee (CEC) of the Congress will meet on Saturday (October 23) at Sonia Gandhi's residence to discuss the 'probable candidates' for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls scheduled to be held early next year.
Top party sources said the party has scrutinized the probable candidates for 150 assembly seats. Out of these 150 seats, control rooms have been set up in 78 assembly segments for the poll strategy and operations, they said.
Although the Poll dates have not been announced, we are committed to fighting the Polls to win. So we are finalising the list much before the time so that the candidates get enough time to reach out to the voters, news agency ANI quoted a source as saying.
