Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi on Friday continued to discuss the issue of leadership of Haryana Congress with the State leaders with CLP leader Kiran Chaudhary meeting her in New Delhi. Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had met Gandhi a day before.
Chaudhary met Gandhi apparently to discuss the issue of choosing a new State chief ahead of Assembly polls in the state.After the meeting, Chaudhary said, "We discussed organisational issues. I raised the issues of the state with her and also the matter of the new Haryana party chief was discussed."
On Thursday, Hooda along with Haryana party in-charge Ghulam Nabi Azad met Sonia Gandhi at her residence almost a week after the former Haryana Chief Minister addressed a mega rally in the State. A Congress leader said that several rounds of meetings of many senior leaders with Sonia Gandhi have been held in the last few days to decide on the new state unit chief in Haryana.
Following the differences between PCC President Ashok Tanwar and Hooda, the party may replace the former with a new leader.
