‘Internal Revolt’: BJP’s ‘Tharoor’ Jibe As Cong Rallies Behind Rahul Gandhi Amid Shakeel Ahmad Row

Описание: Former Congress leader and ex-Union Minister Shakeel Ahmed triggered a political storm by alleging that there is “no internal democracy” in the Congress and accusing Rahul Gandhi of trying to sideline senior leaders. Ahmed claimed Gandhi is uncomfortable working with popular veteran leaders and believes the party belongs to his family. He alleged that key decisions in the Congress are finalised by Rahul Gandhi and that the Youth Congress and NSUI are being used to edge out senior leadership. Ahmed also said he wanted to vote for Shashi Tharoor in the Congress presidential election but voted for Mallikarjun Kharge under pressure from Gandhi loyalists. Congress leaders Pramod Tiwari, Udit Raj and Prem Chand Mishra rejected Ahmed’s claims, with Udit Raj saying his logic was flawed. The BJP seized on the controversy, with leaders Shehzad Poonawalla, Gourav Vallabh and Pradeep Bhandari attacking the Gandhi family and alleging lack of democracy within the Congress.
