AROUND FOUR months ahead of the Assembly polls, the state Congress is in a state of utter confusion over the developments in the All India Congress Committee (AICC).
With Rahul Gandhi firm on stepping down from the party president’s post and the AICC yet to name a successor, senior state party leaders said on Wednesday that the party, which is at its weakest ever in the state, is losing precious time.
“There are not even 100 days left for the election. We’re going into the election on the backfoot. There is no clarity on who would lead the party. There is no sense of direction at the moment,” said a senior leader.
Ironically, following a meeting of Rahul with state Congress leaders to discuss the upcoming polls last Saturday, indications of a change of guard in the state could be seen on Tuesday.
