CHANDIGARH: Haryana’s neighbouring state Punjab continues to witness political fluctuations for a long time now, and amidst the chaos, Charanjeet Singh Channi, a congress leader has been appointed new Chief Minister of the state after the removal of Captain Amrinder Singh. In wake of the ongoing scenario, political experts are of the opinion that Congress high command is most likely to come with huge changes in Haryana soon. Everyone is familiar with the fact that the Congress stalwart and the leader of opposition, Bhupender Singh Hooda is not in the good books of the party high command these days, particularly with Rahul Gandhi. New political developments clearly indicate that on the line of Punjab, Hooda may meet new fate in terms of political career. Although, nothing can be said exactly in the politics but the changing scenario continues to depict a lot.
Hooda and Kumari Seleja, the Congress state president of Haryana are not in good terms after his son Deepender Singh Hooda was appointed Member of Parliament ( Rajya Sabha). Seleja was the strongest claimant for the same but failed to make it as Hooda faction emerged strong and succeeded in getting the seat. Further, the party legislators supporting Hooda met the party high command in Delhi and demanded Seleja’s resignation from the post saying that she continues to take one-sided decisions and ther are being neglected continuously But contrary to their expectations, the party president rejected their demand which annoyed the Hooda faction. Thus, speculations continue to surface that the Hooda is upset and not in good terms with the party high command as well as the Seleja. Following the ongoing scenario, everyone seems agree to some extent that the Congress party may come up with some changes in Haryana.
The party high command’s recent decisions depict that it would not come under pressure of any party leader, be it two-times CM Bhupender Singh Hooda or Captain Amrinder Singh, former CM of Punjab. It is pertinent to mention that most of the party legislators in the state are supporting Hooda which strengthens his position in the party. While rejecting Hooda faction’s demand by the party, high command shows Seleja’s strong bonding with the senior leaders and the Gandhi family.
It is learnt that in wake of the new strategy of the party high command, Hooda faction is mulling over every possible plan to strengthen its position and for political survival.
