Congress appeared to be cracking up under state mutinies following the Lok Sabha debacle, with firebrand minister Narayan Rane raising a banner of revolt against Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and former Union minister Kumari Selja attacking Haryana CM Bhupinder Hooda for his leadership of the party in the state.
Coupled with rebellion against Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi and a regular stream of voices against Rahul Gandhi, the infighting in Congress seems to be coming to a head in the wake of its worst-ever defeat in parliamentary polls.
Few in the party are able to figure out how the dissidence will stop given that most leaders see the post-defeat vulnerability of CMs as the best moment to strike, either out of ambition or to settle factional scores or even to get back at their neglect in the past. Concerned Congressmen fear the contagion may only grow if it is not nipped right away.
Rane shook the Congress leadership by shooting off a two-page letter in which he expressed displeasure with the functioning of Chavan. He told TOI that he could even quit the party, complaining that he had been ignored despite his hard work in the nine years since his entry from Shiv Sena...
