New Delhi: Congress president Sonia Gandhi today gave a clarion call to all party leaders to gird up for the Maharashtra Assembly elections scheduled for October this year.

In a high-level meeting, Ms Gandhi took stock of the situation and the party's preparations for the polls in the state and also discussed about electoral understanding with the Nationalist Congress Party and Republican Party of India.

Defence Minister A K Antony, State Chief Minister A K Chavan, other party leaders Sushil Kumar Shinde, Shivraj Patil, Ahmad Patel, Digvijay Singh, K Rahman Khan, Mohan Prakash, Madhusudan Mistry, Kripashankar Singh and Pradesh Congress president Manik Rao Thackeray were among the dignitaries, who attended the one-and-half-hour meet at Ms Gandhi's residence.

The party also demanded that in a situation of electoral understanding with NCP, more seats should be allotted in favour of the Congress. However, the party has taken no decision in this regard till now.

For the election related work in the state, Ms Gandhi had constituted a committee of five members under the leadership of Antony, which went in all parts of the state and gathered information about the party's condition and view of of party members on the same.

In addition, groups of either two state ministers or three office-bearers were ordered to go in various districts in the state and submit their reports. According to sources, in today's meeting all those reports were reviewed on the basis of which political situation in the state was discussed.
