The Congress Working Committee will meet on Friday to draw up a schedule for the long-pending organisational elections that could also pick a new party chief, the Hindustan Times has reported. The meeting of the party's top decision making body comes five months after the Congress&rsquo; interim president Sonia Gandhi asked the party to relieve her from the top post. Sonia Gandhi offered to step down at a CWC meet last August following a letter by more than 20 prominent party leaders that demanded an &ldquo;active, full-time and visible&rdquo; president. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi is widely preferred within the party to replace Sonia Gandhi as efforts to pick a non-Gandhi party president have not succeeded in the past two years ago.

Market regulator SEBI gave a go-ahead on Wednesday to Future Group's scheme of arrangement and sale of assets to Reliance. The Bombay Stock Exchange also granted its "no adverse observation" report to the Rs 24,700-crore deal.
Amazon had written several letters to the SEBI and other regulatory agencies to suspend their review of the deal. It had pleaded wit the regulators to not grant it a no objection certification on ground that its challenge to the agreement was before the Delhi High Court.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India allowed the deal with some riders, five months after it was announced last August.
While seeking shareholders or the National Company Law Tribunal approval, the SEBI has asked Future Group to specifically mention the litigation pending before the Delhi High Court and arbitration proceedings by the e-commerce major Amazon contesting the deal, the Bombay Stock Exchange stated in its observation letter.
The BSE has also held that SEBI's go-ahead on the draft scheme of arrangement would be subject to the outcome of these proceedings.
"It is observed that there are certain ongoing litigations/arbitration/legal proceedings against the draft scheme," the SEBI said.
