The voices from within the Congress party have started emanating over the inordinate delay in settling the issue of leadership of the party in Uttarakhand ahead of the crucial assembly elections. The party leadership is yet to take a decision on the new Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader in the state. In a letter written to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, senior leader and former member of All India Congress Committee (AICC) ,Yogendra Khanduri has said that delay in taking decisions is taking a toll on the image of the party.
“ Indira Hridayesh, the CLP leader, lost her life on June 13, 2021. Since her death till today, the party has not taken the decision on CLP leader. Owing to this chaos is prevailing in the state congress party because it is affecting the position of congress president of Uttarakhand also. Hectic activities of Congress leaders are going on for managing these posts in their favor,’’ he said in the letter. Khanduri requested Gandhi to take a prompt decision on CLP leader and party president of Uttarakhand.
Meanwhile the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president, Pritam Singh was invited by the party leadership to Delhi on Monday. On the question of CLP leader, Singh said that the Congress high command would take a decision on it and every one would accept it.
