‘Colleagues squabbling publicly with each other like children’: MP Manish Tewari on Punjab Congress Crisis

He said, Chaos, anarchy in Punjab Congress continues, no progress on core issues like Bargari, Drugs, Power PPA's and illegal sand mining

The Punjab Congress Crisis seems to be far from over.After former CM Captain Amarinder Singh and Sukhjinder Randhawa’s war of words,it’s Congress MP from Anandpur Sahib Manish Tewari who slammed former PunjabCongress in-charge Harish Rawat on Sunday alleging that the soap opera is stillcontinuing in Punjab.

Tewari, said in a statement which was tweeted, "Ihave never seen such chaos & anarchy as what is playing out in PunjabCongress today. Repeated open defiance of AICC by a PCC President, colleaguessquabbling publicly with each other like children. Guttural language againsteach other that even fish wives would not use. For the past 5 months it isPunjab Congress versus Congress in Punjab. Do we think that people of Punjabare not disgusted by this daily soap opera? Irony is that those who complainedloudest of transgressions and aberrations were unfortunately and continue to beworst offenders themselves."

The Congress MP has also slammed the Kharge committee andsaid, "History would record that the appointment of the Committee thatostensibly heard perceived and real grievances was a serious error ofjudgement. Where is progress on the issues that agitated these MLA's and othereminences - Bargari, Drugs, Power PPA's, illegal sand mining. Has there beenany movement forward." he asked.

Tewari, who is close to Amarinder Singh, has hit out atHarish Rawat for his recent comments in the media about former Chief MinisterAmarinder Singh and himself. Tewari said that he has been in Congress for thepast 40 years, but did not see such type of chaos in the Punjab unit.

The Congress on Friday appointed Harish Chaudhary asPunjab in-charge, which has not gone down well with the camp which is antiSidhu in the state, as Chaudhary was instrumental in the removal of AmarinderSingh and is said to be close to Rahul Gandhi.

Now Chaudhary has a tough task to manage the disgruntledgroups in the party and also coordinate with Sidhu and Chief Minister CharanjitSingh Channi. Both do not share good rapport and Sidhu has been attacking theChief Minister as he has been upset with the choice of cabinet and theappointments in the state's various bodies.
