Currently after the defeat in the haryana assembly elections, the discord within the congress is coming to the fore. According to sources, the congress leadership is angry with Bhupendra Singh Hooda. The party leadership is disappointed with the results. It is being said that Bhupendra Singh Hooda kept the leadership in the dark about the real situation. The party high command feels that Hooda has kept the leadership away from reality.
Meanwhile in the meeting held yesterday at the congress President's house regarding haryana, Bhupendra Hooda and PCC President uday Bhan were not called to the meeting because the party leadership already realized what arguments both of them would give for the defeat. The party is unlikely to announce any formal fact-finding committee, they may deploy some senior leaders informally. Also, now there is no possibility of meeting the leaders of haryana separately.
Perhaps this review meeting was attended by Congress's organization general secretary KC Venugopal, former rajasthan Chief minister Ashok Gehlot, who played the role of senior observer in the elections, and treasurer ajay Maken, along with two other All india congress Committee officials. State in-charge deepak Babaria joined through video conference, as he has been unwell for the last few weeks.
Sources say that rahul gandhi is serious about getting to the bottom of the reasons for this election result and fixing accountability. While talking to the media after this meeting, ajay Maken said that you people (media) must also agree that the results were unexpected. There was a huge difference between the exit polls and the actual results. What could be the different reasons was discussed.
