The top leadership of the Congress party is demoralized due to defeat in Maharashtra, Haryana and Delhi and before that Rajasthan, MP and Odisha source says. This has given chance to regional leaders to raise their fingers on the central leadership also and similarly, the central leadership started thinking that individual leadership in states needs to be relooked source says. Recently one senior leader of the party in Himachal Pradesh related to Capt Amarinder Singh, ex-CM of Punjab from Congress party but now senior leader of BJP, met the CM of Himachal Pradesh and during discussions raised the issue of taking back Capt in the party source says the.
He further said that Capt is not happy in the BJP because so far promises made to him have not been honoured and he is still awaiting orders to become Governor of any state or any important work assigned in the state to rebuild the party source says. Sukkhu, the CM of Himachal Pradesh instantly conveyed the message to the central leadership source says. Capt Amarinder Singh is from Doon School and had very cordial and family terms with Rajiv Gandhi during his lifetime and even though he went to BJP maintains very cordial relations with Sonia Gandhi source says. The message was immediately sent to Capt for a cup of tea from Sonia Gandhi. Capt met Sonia Gandhi but clarified that he would not come back to Congress at the start of the meeting but promised that in 2029, he will try to work silently for Congress source says.
He demanded a ticket for his daughter from Ludhiana and also for his wife source says. Sonia Gandhi agreed to the request but asked him to request his daughter to meet Rahul Gandhi once to settle the matter once for all source says. This move demonstrates that Congress is looking for all options and ready to work with detractors once more to regain the lost glory source tells.
