The Congress has sought more time from the Election Commission (EC) to hold internal elections in the party. Sources, however, said that the request this time was for a “small” deferment, unlike on two earlier occasions when the party had sought one-year extensions. The EC had earlier this month rejected its second demand for a one-year extension, sought in December last year. The poll panel has asked the party to conclude the organisational election process by June this year.
