Did Ajay Maken's own plan boomerang on him?

The perception gaining ground is that Maken did commit certain political mistakes somewhere.

Congress leader Ajay Maken's plan seems to have boomeranged on himself. After Maken was relieved of his post as Rajasthan incharge, the question being asked now is whether he could make it to the team that Congress President Mallikarjuna Kharge would constitute next year. The perception gaining ground is that Maken did commit certain political mistakes somewhere. Not only in Rajasthan, but Maken has made mistakes earlier as well. Everybody is aware how Maken was at loggerheads with the then Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. He could not handle Congress properly in Delhi, with the result that the grand old party was virtually decimated in the Assembly elections. The party could not win a single seat in Assembly or Lok Sabha polls in Delhi, with Maken as in-charge of the state. Maken had to resign after factionalism grew in Congress. Maken had declined to contest in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls on health grounds. Despite all that, Rahul Gandhi included him in the team.
