Cong list of 40 star campaigners released for the 1st two phases of Bihar polls, Tejashwi should take care of his own house, says Prasad
AS senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi prepares to launch the party's campaign for the Bihar Assembly elections from Wednesday, internal murmurs of discontent have reportedly emerged over the list of star campaigners finalised for the first two phases of the polls.
The Congress released its list of 40 star campaigners on Thursday, featuring top leaders such as party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to spearhead the campaign.
However, sources within the party say the list has not gone down well with all sections of the party. While the list includes several prominent names, there is said to be unease over the exclusion of various senior leaders, such as former Union ministers Salman Khurshid, Jairam Ramesh, Manish Tewari, Shashi Tharoor, and Rajya Sabha MP Pramod Tiwari, among others.
