Congress party is getting set back from all sides. Defeats in elections, principle clashes in leaders, and different attitudes of supporting parties due to less acceptance by voters and recent loss of Ahmad Patel, very strong pillar of the party probably weakened the party from inside. Patel was available to small and big leaders of the party twenty-four hours. He was able to communicate with all with so ease and at the same time was getting attention and respect not from only party leaders but other party leaders as well. Managing the party from a central point with the party President with all fairness was his characteristic character. Sources say, it is difficult to replace him but some party leaders already started lobbying for the position. Chidambaram, Digvijay Singh, Ashok Gahlot are some amongst many. Sources add, Gahlot wants to take responsibility of Treasurer but not ready to leave the responsibility of CM. Surjewala and Venugopalan are also in the fray but they are considered nominees of Rahul Gandhi. To tie up the situation party has given additional responsibility to Pawan Bansal for the time being.
