Former minister questions district chiefs, alleging neglect of workers and no permanent party office.
Vishvendra Singh directly targeted the working style of Bharatpur District Congress President Dinesh Supa and Deeg District Congress President Rajiv Singh. In his post, he raised serious allegations, questioning the organization's activism.
Following his post, a new round of discussions has begun in the district's Congress politics. The message among workers is that all is not well within the party.
Expressing his displeasure, Vishvendra Singh stated that common Congress workers are not being heard. He wrote that the organization is continuously distancing itself from its grassroots workers.
Vishvendra Singh said, "To date, there is no permanent party office at the district headquarters of both the Bharatpur and Deeg District Congress Committees."
He also questioned how both district presidents could forget the birthday of top Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, which raises a big question mark on the organization's functioning.
After this public comment by Vishvendra Singh, discussions have intensified in political circles. It is believed that he was upset because his supporters were not given adequate representation in the formation of the district executive committees.
His displeasure has now surfaced as organizational discontent. Many workers are also concerned that if senior leaders themselves are dissatisfied, how will the party strengthen itself in the upcoming elections.
Notably, Congress does not have a single MLA in the seven assembly seats of Bharatpur and Deeg. However, Sanjana Jatav of Congress is the MP from the Bharatpur Lok Sabha seat, and Vishvendra Singh's role is considered very important in her victory.
Meanwhile, the district presidents have not given any formal reaction to Vishvendra Singh's allegations. However, Bharatpur President Dinesh Supa tried to give a silent reply by sharing newspaper clippings of Rahul Gandhi's birthday celebrations.
This entire episode has exposed the internal strife within Congress. This could be a major challenge for the party before the upcoming municipal and panchayat elections, as the electoral path will not be easy without unity.
