He told reporters in the national capital that while he has given his report, a final decision would be taken after the chief minister, deputy chief minister and the state party chief submit their roadmaps to the leadership.
Digvijaya Singh, who is incharge of party affairs in the state, said a decision on the contentious issue depend on when the three leaders make their presentation before the leadership.
He said a meeting of Congress core vommittee would be held at a time convenient to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Gandhi. "The core vommittee will then take an early decision," he said but
