Following the appointment of Kumari Selja as the Congress' state chief for poll-bound Hayrana, the party's Delhi unit leaders are hopeful of getting a new city unit president soon as the Assembly elections in the national capital are scheduled to be held early next year.
The post of Delhi president fell vacant with the passing away of Sheila Dikshit in July.
The process for selection of a new Delhi Congress chief is underway with senior leaders meeting interim party president Sonia Gandhi for deliberations on a consensus candidate.
Former Delhi Congress president Subhash Chopra met Sonia Gandhi at her residence on Wednesday and later told PTI, "It was good meeting. Issues related with Delhi Congress were discussed by me with Sonia ji."
