The rift between Haryana Leader of Opposition Bhupender Singh Hooda and Congress MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi has widened following the appointment of Udai Bhan as the Haryana Congress President.
Bishnoi, considered to be the strongest claimant for the post, was denied the same. Since then, he has been showing dissatisfaction with the working of the Party High Command. He even met BJP leader and Chief Minister Manohar Lal in Gurugram. Sharing a picture with the Chief Minister on his social media account, Bishnoi wrote that he is thankful to him (CM) as the Chief Minister resumed status of Adampur Gram Panchayat.
Though according to Bishnoi, it was just a courtesy meeting, political experts are of the opinion that it was not so. The meeting assumes significance in the wake of his ongoing feud with Hooda.
Political experts speculate that if Bishnoi shakes hands with BJP, the Congress is likely to face a challenge for one Rajya Sabha seat which is being considered confirmed for the party presently.
There are 90 Assembly seats and 31 legislators are from the Congress. The Congress should have the support of at least 30 MLAs. In case, Bishnoi quits the Congress then the party will be left with 30 legislators and securing the same number will be the need of the hour for the party to own one seat of Rajya Sabha.
