Bump in the road: Formation of Haryana Congress organisation halted again

The formation of the Congress’ organisation in Haryana has hit yet another roadblock. The party’s Haryana affairs in-charge Deepak Babaria, who has so far been unable to complete the task assigned to him by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, is leaving no stone unturned to make progress.

Babaria is scheduled to meet Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday with a list of possible district head appointees. Notably, Kharge also met with former Chief Minister and Opposition leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda and party state president Chaudhary Udaybhan two days ago.

Sources say Babaria intends to take forward his formula of appointing executive district heads along with the district heads, which might be discussed in his meeting with Kharge. Additionally, AICC-level district coordinators might be asked to provide feedback about the potential district heads. This time the coordinators will be fielded along with the executive district presidents to get feedback regarding divisional-level officials.
