A few last-minute changes made in the list of Congress district and city unit presidents announced last month continue to be the cause of concern and resentment brewing in the grand old party in Uttar Pradesh.

LUCKNOW:

The changes made at some of the places are so glaring that the party leadership may go for a rethink, and amendments to the list in the coming days cannot be ruled out.

"There is resentment in at least 15 districts due to gross anomalies following last-minute changes in the list. Most of the changes were made in the west UP districts, where the party is left with no Jat leader in the list of new district presidents. At the same time, Hardoi comprising two Lok Sabha seats of reserved category has leaders of the same caste (upper caste) as district and city unit presidents," a senior party functionary said on the condition of anonymity.
