Mallikarjun Kharge has taken over as the National President of Congress. Along with this, he has constituted a steering committee of 47 members. This committee will take all the important decisions of the Congress. Only former Chief Minister and Rajya Sabha member Digvijay Singh have been included in this committee, while four Congress leaders from neighboring Rajasthan have got a place.
The youth leaders of the state have not got a chance in Kharge's team. While Digvijay Singh's stature is increasing continuously at the national level. Digvijay Singh is close to the Gandhi family.
Digvijay Singh has been made the chairman of the organising committee of Rahul Gandhi's India Jodo Yatra. Along with this, he is active in the state. State Congress President and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath has been made the head of the committee to look into the matters troubling the workers unnecessarily. A Committee meeting has also been held in this regard. It has been decided to start its meeting from Datia.
Be it former minister Jitu Patwari, who is considered to be Rahul's team from Madhya Pradesh or former Congress state president Arun Yadav and Meenakshi Natarajan. No youth has got a chance in Kharge's team. Let us tell you, Digvijay Singh had taken the nomination form for the election of the National President of the Congress, but after Kharge's name came up, he refused to contest the election.
There are assembly elections in the state next year. The Working Steering Committee formed by Kharge will take all the big decisions of the party. Congress can get benefit in the state by joining Digvijay Singh's team.
The responsibility of the state Congress rests with Kamal Nath. The combination of both is good. Digvijay Singh has direct contact with the grassroot workers of the state. This will boost the morale of the workers.
