'Coalition Compulsions': Congress's Hand Tied as Leaders in Punjab Hit by 'AAPheaval'?

News 18  

The tepid response of Congress president Mallakarjun Kharge and the fierce one by its Punjab leaders after the arrest of MLA Sukhpal Khaira in an old drugs case captures the dilemma that has hit the party over its alliance with the state’s ruling AAP as part of the INDIA front. And when Arvind Kejriwal campaigned in poll-bound Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, which are seeing a straight fight between the BJP and Congress, the leaders turned around and said to the top leadership, “We told you so.” With Khaira’s arrest, these naysayers stand vindicated. As the news came in, not just Khaira, but most Punjab Congress leaders like Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and Pratap Bajwa unleashed their wrath, accusing the Bhagwant Mann government of misusing the law and state machinery to decimate and demoralise their cadre in the state. Not just this, even as the CBI is probing alleged irregularities in the residential accommodation of Delhi CM Kejriwal, one hasn’t seen Congress leaders hit out at AAP or the party convener.
