Congress president election exposes deep fault lines

The Hindu  

The upcoming presidential election in the Congress party has deepened the factional divide across States. Lok Sabha member Shashi Tharoor, who is said to be considering contesting the election, formally wrote to the chairman of the party’s central election authority, Madhusudan Mistry, seeking the publication of the electoral rolls for the upcoming election to the post of the All India Congress Committee president. Their letters come just days after Lok Sabha members Manish Tewari and Karti Chidambaram made a similar demand to make the electors’ list public The growing debate about the procedure to be adopted in the presidential debate also reflects the intense factionalism in the Congress across States. In Assam, most of the Pradesh Congress Committee functionaries are believed to be Gandhi family loyalists, with PCC chief Bhupen Borah and Lok Sabha member Gaurav Gogoi idenified as being part of Team Rahul Gandhi. In Haryana, former PCC chief Kumari Selja, considered very close to the Gandhi family, wrote a letter to the high command against former Chief Bhupinder Singh Hooda for meeting former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who had quit the party last week.
