Goa: Filing of nominations for Cong polls from Sunday

Posted: 11 Sep 2010 10:39 AM PDT

Filing of nomination papers for the new Goa pradesh Congress committee (GPCC), including its president, begins on Sunday. As per the schedule announced by the chairman of pradesh election authority Prof I G Sanadi, nominations are to be filed on September 12 and 13 between 11am and 4pm.  Nominations have been invited for several posts. Besides the most important post of president, the posts to be filled are six vice-presidents, a treasurer and 33 executive members.

Scrutiny of nominations will be held on September 14 while withdrawal of nominatinos will be allowed on September 15 between 11am to 4pm. Polling will take place on September 17 between 11am and 4pm and counting will begin from 5pm onwards.

On the same day, election will be held to elect six members to All India Congress committee. Expectedly, all eyes are on the top post. This is important as the new president will be on the pradesh election committee which will decide on the candidates for the next assembly elections. There is lot of enthusiasm but not many will be in the fray for the top post, said an office -bearer of the party.

The incumbent Subhash Shirodkar himself is waiting for a green signal from the high command. He said he would consult the high command before filing his nomination. Sources in the party said that Shirodkar would get the backing of the chief minister Digambar Kamat. They have worked together on various missions in the last two years especially towards thwarting moves at destabilising the government, an official said.
