Chaos, Anarchy Within Punjab Cong Unit: Manish Tewari Slams Harish Rawat For Remarks Against Amarinder
Congress MP from Anandpur Sahib Manish Tewari on Sunday criticized former Punjab Congress in-charge, Harish Rawat.
New Delhi: The riff-raff between Punjab Congress committee seems to be far from over. With Congress MP from Anandpur Sahib, Manish Tewari on Sunday condemning former Punjab Congress in-charge Harish Rawat for his recent statement in the media about former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and himself, the tune of soap opera seems to continue.
While referring to the interview by Harish Rawat, Tewari on Sunday tweeted, "I have never seen such chaos & anarchy as what is playing out in Punjab Congress today. Repeated open defiance of AICC by a PCC President, colleagues squabbling publicly with each other like children. Guttural language against each other that even fish wives would not use. For the past 5 months, it is Punjab Congress versus Congress in Punjab. Do we think that the people of Punjab are not disgusted by this daily soap opera? The irony is that those who complained loudest of transgressions and aberrations were unfortunately and continue to be worst offenders themselves."

"History would record that the appointment of the Committee that ostensibly heard perceived and real grievances were a serious error of judgement. Where is progress on the issues that agitated these MLA's and other eminences - Bargari, Drugs, Power PPA's, illegal sand mining. Has there been any movement forward," Tewari added.
Expressing displeasure over the comments made by former Punjab Congress in-charge Harish Rawat about Captain Amarinder Singh, Tewari said that in his 40 years plus in the Indian National Congress he has not witnessed such chaos and anarchy within the Punjab Congress unit.
The Congress on Friday appointed Harish Chaudhary as Punjab in-charge, which has reportedly not gone down well with the camp which is anti-Sidhu in the state, as Chaudhary was instrumental in the removal of Amarinder Singh and is said to be close to Rahul Gandhi.
Harish Chaudhary has a tough task to manage the disgruntled groups in the party and also coordinate with Sidhu and Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi. According to a report by IANS, both do not share a good rapport while Sidhu has been attacking the Chief Minister as he has been upset with the choice of cabinet and the appointments in the state's various bodies.
