Haryana Opposition Congress leader’s different enemies gave contemporary ‘Chintan Shivir’ a miss, showing his total power over the state department.
At the Haryana Congress’s day-long “Chintan Shivir” in Panchkula on Monday, more than the politicians current, those who were evident by their lack captured the concentration of political watchers.
The state team, cut by endless infighting over the years, is currently in the full power of Congress Legislature Party (CLP) head and former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda. In April, the group’s high authority gave Hooda a free run by selecting his follower Udai Bhan the state team president. Though Congress attempted to alleviate Hooda’s enemies, the administrative update left no suspicion regarding who was in control of the congress party in Haryana.
At the “Chintan Shivir”, Hooda’s attackers such as Kiran Choudhry, Randeep Singh Surjewala and her daughter Shruti Choudhry, who is even one of the four operating presidents of the Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC); and ex-state president Kumari Selja, who Bhan substituted, were skipping. Kuldeep Bishnoi, ready to enter the BJP on Thursday, was not asked about the occasion.
Most flashings were the lack of former UP MLA Vivek Bansal, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) partner in the direction of Haryana. Behind the June 10 Rajya Sabha elections, Bansal reached under aggression in the Congress for forgetting to secure the success of Ajay Maken despite the Congress having good numbers. Congress insiders spoke Bansal had been sidelined since Maken’s loss. 
According to congress insiders, Bansal will likely be substituted soon by the person with close ties to Hooda.
“Majority of the Member of Legislature Assembly is on his (Hooda’s) company, and his attackers are gaining sidelined,” said a senior Congress leader. Kumari Selja was substituted by Bhan as HPCC president, while Kuldeep Bishnoi is on the cusp of joining the BJP. Kiran Choudhry has Bhiwani as her fortress, but most MLAs are on Hooda’s company.”
In a recent discussion with The Indian Express, Bishnoi declared the group was “no extended Indian National Congress in Haryana but has evolved Hooda Congress”.
Party officials said lobbying for community and block president positions had also started. Hooda followers and oldtimers are predicted to get key roles in the party, cementing his authority.
Questioned about the factionalism in the Congress, Hooda argued that the Congress was concentrating on growing problems of public reputation and, in the coming days, would more aggressively emphasise the BJP-JJP union administration’s “defeats”.
Regarding Hooda’s full power of the party infrastructure in Haryana, INLD’s Ellenabad MLA Abhay Chautala told, “It is Kuldeep Bishnoi’s judgment if he leaves the Congress and backers the BJP or not. But, it is Bhupinder Singh Hooda behind Kuldeep Bishnoi’s departure from the Indian National Congress. Randeep Surjewala and Kiran Choudhry will be next, all gratitude to Hooda. He (Hooda) is providing all his attackers exit from the group and he gains complete control. He is compromised because of the patients reported against him and is killing the Congress at the BJP’s order. A day will arrive when he shall also leave the Congress and either float his own group or join the BJP.”
