Chandigarh.
Former Union Minister and senior Congress leader Chaudhary Virendra Singh has demanded the resignation of Haryana Congress State President. The political atmosphere in Haryana has heated up due to the statement of Chaudhary Virendra Singh. Chaudhary Virendra Singh made a sharp comment on the recent defeat of Congress and said that there were many reasons behind this defeat.
He directly said, “The organization of Congress in Haryana is not strong and this became the biggest reason for the defeat of Congress.” Emphasizing the need for major changes in the Congress, he said that a major movement is needed to bring the party closer to the people of Haryana. Without naming anyone, Chaudhary Virendra Singh said, “Everything in Haryana was centered on the name of one leader. This wrong message was sent that not a Congress government but a government of one person was being formed. After the defeat, it is the moral responsibility of the state president to resign from his post. This has always happened in politics, but I wonder why this has not happened in Haryana till now. Serious allegations made against BJP: Virendra Singh also attacked BJP and said that the party spent a lot of money on rebel Congress leaders and used power, machinery and financial resources in the elections. He said that apart from EVMs, many external forces also worked in Haryana. When the religion card did not work, caste polarization was resorted to.” “My aim is to make Haryana the people’s party of Congress. The former Union Minister further said that I will launch a big movement in Haryana and make Congress the party of the people of Haryana again. My aim is that the party should reach every class and every community.
Question on election strategy
Virendra Singh raised questions on the strategy of Congress and said that lack of organization in the party and mistakes of leadership became the main reasons for the defeat. He said that this is the time for introspection and if there is no change in the party then the dream of connecting with the public will remain unfulfilled. This statement of Chaudhary Virendra Singh has created a stir in Haryana Congress. Now it remains to be seen what action the party leadership takes on this and whether the state president will resign from his post.
