The CEC is headed by party president Sonia Gandhi. Meanwhile, Congress leaders from the coastal state rushed to Delhi today to attend the meeting of the central committee there.
Congress which is currently ruling the sunshine state in alliance with NCP is in talks with its partner to have a prepoll alliance.
According to sources, both the parties have reached an agreement over seat-sharing and the NCP is likely to get six seats.
