Haryana Congress on Friday appointed 21 new observers for different districts. These newly appointed observers are supposed to provide feedback to the State Congress leadership for the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections.

State Congress President, Ashok Tanwar said that as the whole State unit has been dissolved by the AICC recently, the newly appointed observers will assist the state leadership to get feedback from Congress workers at the grass root level to help formulate strategy for the upcoming election and make the upcoming campaign of the party successful which is scheduled to start from June 5. 

This is the first time that the Congress party has experimented with a new model across the state especially at a time when state assembly elections are just round the corner. The state leadership has decided to get inputs, from various cells like the state youth congress, NSUI, Sewa Dal and Mahila Congress, during the feedback program.

Meanwhile, many senior Congress leaders have put their foot down and are already voicing their discontent on this new mode of working. On the conditions of anonymity a senior congress leader alleged that all the 21 observers appointed by the party are Hooda loyalists.

At a time when there is a rising discontent within the Congress party against the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who is being blamed for the poll debacle during the recently concluded lok-Sabha elections, appointing Hooda loyalists as observers can be a fatal stand for the Congress in the upcoming assembly elections.
