SHILLONG: As Congress has geared itself up for the Assembly polls, the AICC General Secretary CP Joshi arrived here on Monday.
Shortly after arriving, Joshi met Chief Minister, Mukul Sangma besides the leaders of the Meghalaya Pradesh Youth Congress.
Joshi is likely to be present in the Congress poll panel meeting which will be held on Tuesday to recommend the names of the candidates to contest the polls.
Joshi would also meet MPCC president besides others during his three-day visit to Shillong.
Joshi on Monday evening refused to speak to media persons saying he is yet to get feedbacks from the party leaders here and he would give credible information to media later on.
Joshi, during informal discussion, however, said that the decision to allot tickets to the candidates is taken at the highest level of the party.
The Congress had already made it clear that it would contest in all the 60 seats and that it had received more than 100 applications from the individuals who are willing to contest the polls on Congress ticket.
The party in the recent past, however, suffered from desertions as many of its sitting legislators left the party.
