New Delhi, July 14: With Assembly elections in three states, including Maharashtra and Haryana, scheduled soon, a meeting of the AICC is expected in Mumbai by September.
Party sources said that the leadership was toying with the idea and no final decision has been taken so far.
If the AICC meeting is held, it will be the first such session of the Congress after the Lok Sabha elections.
The Assembly elections in Maharashtra are scheduled by October and therefore the plan is to hold the meeting before announcement of elections there.
As per the Congress constitution, AICC meetings are to be held twice a year, but this could hardly take place given the fact that the leadership is busy in one state election after the other, the sources said.
Maharashtra is important in the Congress scheme of things and the party had fared well in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections winning 17 out of the 48 seats, leaving alliance partner NCP far behind with eight seats.
The Congress is in power in the state along with the NCP for the past 10 years.
In Haryana, where elections are due by early next year, Congress had won 9 out of 10 Lok Sabha seats by making mincemeat of the challenge posed by the BJP-INLD combine on one side and the Haryana Janhit Congress on the other.
