Ashok Choudhary talks to reporters after formally taking over the charge of state Congress chief from outgoing president Choudhary Mehboob Ali Kaiser at Sadaquat Ashram on Wednesday. The party workers greeted him with bouquets. Congress Legislature Party leader Sadanand Singh (left), former state presidents Ramjatan Sinha and Chandan Bagchi were present. “Now on, it is not the state party president who would alone run the party, instead collective leadership would take all the decisions with the blessings of seniors and help of young blood,” Choudhary said.
