Ahead of assembly elections, Congress is already facing a severe crisis in states like Punjab and Goa, with more and more Congress leaders deserting the party. Now, this virus is spreading to the hill-state Uttarkhand also.
The face of the party in the state and former chief minister Harish Rawat himself openly revolted against the party’s high-active politics’.
He expressed his discontent over the party affairs through several Tweets. He deplored that the factionalism of leaders in Uttarakhand Congress is increasing continuously and the structure of the organization is turning its back instead of cooperating.
“Isn’t it strange that the organisational structure at most places, instead of extending a helping hand, is standing with its head turned away or playing a negative role at a time when I have to swim across the ocean of elections?” he tweeted.
“People on whose orders I have to swim, their nominees are tying up my hands and feet. I am filled with thoughts. A voice from within says it is enough Harish Rawat, you have swum long. It is time to rest,” he added.
Earlier, Harish Rawat, was the Punjab Congress in-charge, worked to remove the infighting within the party. During his tenure only Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh was forced to step down. Now he himself has opened a front against the organization and his tweet has created panic.
Earlier on Monday, in Goa, Pradesh Congress Committee’s working president Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco became the latest MLA to quit the party over the last five years. Notably, his name had figured in the first list of eight candidates announced by the Congress last week for the forthcoming state polls.
Recently, Luizinho Faleiro and Ravi Naik, both former chief ministers, also left the Congress. The party is now left with only Pratapsingh Rane and Digambar Kamat, both of whom are also former CMs.
