Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar today led the demand for replacement of Lok Sabha party leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, asking for Adhir to be replaced with Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor.
Jakhar told a CWC sub-group consisting of Congress leaders P Chidambaram, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Jyotiraditya Scindia among others that communication was not Adhir’s high point.
“Adhir Ranjan is a fighter and should be used in party organisation to lead protests and campaigns. In Lok Sabha you need a leader who can articulate party’s strategy and counter the BJP. I think Tharoor should replace Adhir as Congress leader in the Lok Sabha,” said Jakhar, former Gurdaspur MP.
