congress: As part of Rahul Gandhi’s trials, Kanhaiya may get bigger role in Congress

The Congress management is testing waters to nominate CPI functionary-turned-Congressman Kanhaiya Kumar in a management slot, with the presidentship of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) or the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) being weighed as choices, in line with individuals conscious of the event.

The transfer has triggered disquiet amongst sections of the DPCC and IYC leaders who contemplate Kumar a “political and ideological outsider”, they mentioned.

Kumar, a former JNU college students union chief, joined the Congress in 2021 by reaching out to Rahul Gandhi. While many Congress leaders of his residence state Bihar have been recognized to have resisted any lively role being given to him.

With makes an attempt to revive the Delhi PCC coming to naught, a piece of Congress management is now recognized to be arguing that Kumar might be the “panacea” for Delhi Congress whilst they cite how one other “experiment”, of bringing Dikshit “from UP to Delhi Congress management” had succeeded. Similarly, IYC management can be being cited as a possible slot for Kumar, 36, by arguing that Srinivas BV, 42, shall be quickly finishing 4 years in IYC management.

But many among the many Delhi Congress and IYC brass will not be enthused concerning the transfer. “Kumar is much too new in the Congress to be thought of to go a PCC. And these arguing Sheila (Dikshit) ji too was an outsider in Delhi Congress are being dishonest as a result of she had been a Congress chief proper from the start,” mentioned a Delhi Congress functionary, who didn’t want to be recognized. The temper is comparable in IYC, particularly as most IYC leaders have been combating in opposition to the Leftists and saffron outfits.
