Congress Rules Out Mid-Term Polls In New Year

Despite allies striking discordant notes and virtually vetoing key decisions, Congress on Monday ruled out mid-term polls in the New Year expressing confidence that it would find a middle ground through talks.

“Of course, the question of mid-term poll does not arise,” party spokesperson Manish Tewari said in reply to a volley of questions on allies like Trinamool Congress and DMK acting difficult for the government.

Amid continuing differences with Mamata Banerjee’s party on Lokpal Bill, Mr. Tewari also expressed hope of finding a “common ground” through talks.
