If anyone desires to get nominations from 10 supporters from different States to contest the upcoming Congress presidential polls, the list of all 9,000-plus delegates will be available at All India Congress Committee (AICC) office from September 20, Central Election Authority (CEA) chairman Madhusudan Mistry said on Saturday in response to the Lok Sabha members who had demanded transparency in the election procedure.
Earlier, five Lok Sabha members – Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari, Karti Chidambaram, Pradyut Bordoloi and Abdul Khaleque – had jointly petitioned the CEA chairman to make the electoral roll available to them for the sake of transparency.
Both Mr. Tharoor and Mr. Tewari are part of the G-23 or the ginger group within the Congress that has been pushing for internal reforms within the party for the past two years.
