Calling Netaji "our idol", Kharge, in a tweet in Hindi said, "Tributes to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, former president of Indian National Congress, founder of Azad Hind Fauj and our idol, on his 126th birth anniversary."

The Congress now will be in power in three states on its own and in as many others -- Jharkhand, Bihar Tamil Nadu -- in alliance.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party chief Sonia Gandhi and AICC general secretary in-charge organisation K C Venugopal, among others, offered floral tributes at Nehru's memorial Shanti Van in New Delhi.

Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her bodyguards on this day in 1984 at her residence in Safdarjung Road.

Status quoism has won over change. Family loyalty has prevailed over any out-of-the-box experimentation.

The saffron party, which has been attacking Kharge even before he was elected the grand-old party's president, is now terming him to be a rubber stamp.

Being a Dalit will help Kharge strike a chord with the underdogs, who were once traditional voters of the Congress but who, of late, have switched to the BJP.

At the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) headquarters Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad, leaders queued up to cast their votes.

Voting will be conducted across all state and union territory offices from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. About 67 booths have been set up, according to the party's Central Election Authority (CEA).

In AICC also there will be a booth, especially for all senior leaders, working committee members and all those whose identity card is from a different state but are staying in Delhi. If they write to us that they want to vote in Delhi then we will make arrangements here as well, they can also vote here in AICC.

Calling Congress presidential candidate Mallikarjun Kharge a 'Telangana Bidda', TPCC president A Revanth Reddy said a few local leaders recommending his candidature should be taken in a ‘positive’ way.

The guidelines says that Pradesh Returning Officer (PRO) will be the Polling Officer of their respective PCCs and shall be responsible for keeping order at the polling stations and to see that the election is fairly conducted.
