Turmoil in Deeg Congress before local elections. After his name went missing from the list of ward in-charges, former minister Vishvendra Singh has opened a front against the district president.
Deeg |Just before the upcoming local body elections in Deeg district of Rajasthan, internal factionalism and discontent within the Congress party have once again come to the forefront.
The entire controversy began over the list of ward in-charges for the local body elections released by Deeg District Congress Committee President Rajeev Singh, which has sparked a major political uproar.
In the released list, the names of several senior leaders, including State President Govind Singh Dotasra, regional MP Sanjana Jatav, District In-charge Deshraj Meena, and Co-in-charge Himmat Singh, were included with full respect.
However, the name of Vishvendra Singh, a senior leader from the Bharatpur royal family and a two-time cabinet minister in the state government, was missing from this list, deepening the controversy.
Angered by his name being replaced with 'Congress candidate Vidhan Sabha Deeg-Kumher' in the list, the former minister has opened a front against his own party's district president.
This incident, occurring just before the local elections in the politically sensitive Mewat and Bharatpur-Deeg region, has raised serious questions about the organization's preparations.
Former Minister Vishvendra Singh expressed his anger through his social media account, issuing a stern warning to the district president and those involved in this decision.
'A display of petty mentality'
Former Minister Vishvendra Singh strongly objected to the copy of the list sent by Deeg District President Rajeev Singh. He wrote that a deliberate conspiracy is underway within the party to belittle senior public representatives.
He said in his social media message, 'A list of in-charges for the upcoming local body elections has been issued by the Deeg Congress District President, Rajeev Singh, a copy of which has been sent for information and necessary action. I strongly condemn the petty mentality shown by not writing my name and instead writing only 'Congress candidate Vidhan Sabha Deeg-Kumher'.'
Referring to his political experience, the former minister further wrote, 'Despite having been a District Head once, MP 3 times, MLA 3 times, and a Cabinet Minister twice in my political career, I cannot tolerate such an insult.'
In a warning tone, Vishvendra Singh wrote, 'The Congress party may have to bear the consequences of the petty mentality shown by Rajeev Singh in the upcoming local body elections, and the people are ready to give a befitting reply to all those involved in this conspiracy.'
