Recent incidents reveals Congress leaders, AICC gap
The Congress managers are finding it difficult to explain why the party has been failing to keep its legislators together.
New Delhi: The recent developments in Uttarakhand, and earlier in Arunachal Pradesh, are revealing an increasing gap between the state Congress leaders and the AICC.
The Congress managers are finding it difficult to explain why the party has been failing to keep its legislators together despite being in power in these states. The imposition of President’s Rule in Uttarakhand could demoralise the party workers in Assam, Kerala, West Bengal and Puducherry, going to the polls next month.
Sources suggest that Mizoram needs to be watched now due to br-ewing dissension against chief minister Lal Thanhawla in the Congress legislature party. This will be a third Congress state facing political instability.
While the Congress will challenge the President’s Rule in Uttarakhand in the courts, it will be interesting to see whether these developments could create a sympathy wave for the party or not as Uttarakhand will have Assembly polls in the next 11 months.
Though the Congress might project the BJP greedy for power, the real issue is why the Sonia Gandhi-led party is losing state government after state government following its debacle in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
