It took more than three months for the Congress leadership to appoint a new president of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee on Wednesday. The seat had fallen vacant after the death of three-time Delhi Chief Minister and two-term DPCC president Sheila Dikshit on July 20 this year.
Subhash Chopra had earlier served as DPCC president for four years. Chopra, a three-time MLA from Kalkaji seat, had also served as the Speaker of the Delhi Assembly. Former BJP MP Kirti Azad has been made the chairman of Campaign Committee.
