While the Congress has high hopes from Maharashtra for the Lok Sabha polls, the faction feud and election mismanagement might hamper its prospects if not addressed in time. The party has thus deputed a team of high-level national leaders to get the ball rolling in the state on Saturday.

General secretary of All India Congress Committee (organisation) KC Venugopal, state in-charge Mallikarjun Kharge and specially-appointed election observer Madhusudan Mistri have been tasked with the job of ensuring good results for the party in Maharashtra. The team will be in Mumbai on Saturday to meet state leaders.
