The Congress V-P asked party leaders to focus on poll-bound states. In another development, Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh was divested of the charge of Goa and Karnataka. Similarly, he was removed from Karnataka on the request of a large number of state leaders and legislators who had complained against him. Rahul has maintained that organisational elections hold the key to internal democracy and insisted that PROs must adhere to the poll plan. The plenary session will mark the completion of the fifth and final phase of the organisational elections by the year-end.
