In Fresh Jibe at Party, MP Congress Leader Says Certain People Sacrificing Youth Leadership For Self Gain

News 18  

At the time when Congress party is facing a spirited internal rebellion from the young leaders against the old guards, a former cabinet minister of Kamal Nath government has taken a pot shot at party seniors. Umang Singhar who was in the limelight for his ugly public spat with the senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh last year, had fired a fiery tweet on the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha on Saturday. “Congress party has a history of numerous sacrifices right from the freedom struggle to till date including those from leaders, party workers and Nehru-Gandhi family members but certain people are busy sacrificing country’s oldest party and youth leadership for personal interest,” Singhar tweeted on Saturday. Singhar, the nephew of former Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Jamuna Devi, also tagged former AICC president Rahul Gandhi in the tweet, directing the salvo at the Congress leader. In March, the party lost Jyotiraditya Scindia to BJP that also subsequently brought down the Kamal Nath government, thus reinstating the BJP led by Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
