Resolve the leadership crisis in Chhattisgarh

Hindustan Times  

Almost a year after the Congress appeared to have resolved its factionalism problem in Chhattisgarh, ties between chief minister Bhupesh Baghel and cabinet minister TS Singh Deo have turned frosty again. That the party is battling a crisis in a state where it otherwise dominates politically speaks poorly of the party’s dysfunctional decision-making and the original bargain struck between the two aspirants in 2018. Raipur is only one of two state capitals where the Congress has a government on its own, and with the other – Jaipur – also going to the polls next year, the party faces the real danger of not being in power in any state on its own strength. To avoid this ignominy, the party should look to resolve this crisis of leadership, take a leaf out of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s playbook, and devote its attention to governance and elections, not factional squabbles. To avoid this ignominy, the Grand Old Party should look to resolve this crisis of leadership, take a leaf out of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s playbook, and devote its attention to governance and elections, not factional squabbles.
