Nirmal Khatri did not took responsibility of the debacle

Unmoved by the worst ever defeat for the Party, State Congress president, Nirmal Khatri, who so far neither took responsibility of the debacle or opened his mouth on the dismal performance, seems to have now playing his card well to avert the wrath of the Party workers who in one voice wanted his ouster from State Congress head-quarter. 

``We do not wanted to see Khatri’s face who ditch the Party during crucial time of Parliament elections just by concentrating on his own lok Sabha seat and not attending any other public meeting or even looking after the Organisational work”, reacted a senior Congress leader of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, who claimed that even now Khatri had made politics by choosing former prime minister Rajeev Gandhi’s death anniversary to make his first visit to Party’s office after Congress’s rout in Parliament elections. 

``Khatri has chosen Rajeevji’s Balidan Diwas day to visit UPCC as he knew that on that day the Congressmen could not register their ire towards him as on this day as we remembers and pay tribute just to our late beloved leader”, the Congress leader asserted adding that earlier they had decided  not to allow Khatri to enter into UPCC. It may be mentioned here that UPCC spokesman, Virendra Madan, on Tuesday confirmed that Khatri will visit to Party office to pay his homage to former prime minister Rajeev Ghandhi on his death anniversary, on Wednesday. Madan claimed that the Party also organised all religion prayers on the occasion.

``What more worst the Party could face in UP when almost all of our sitting MPs including ministers had found their names on bottom of four main recognised  Political parties leaders during the recent Parliament elections and many of them also lost their deposits”, quipped another senior leader who is also a former spokesman of the UPCC. ``If Kharti as well as Congress legislative Party leader, Pradeep Mathur, and incharge of Party affairs here in UP, Madhusudan Mistri, had any morale left with them than they should first submit their resignation and than entered into UPCC premises”, added the agitated leader, who too claimed that has it been not Rajeev’s martyred day, they would definitely staged their protest before UPCC chief, who even visited lucknow after the Parliament elections results were announced but ignored the Party office and instead took flight and went directly to Delhi, just to rally behind his well-wishers in the Party and to save his post as UPCC chief. 

Interestingly, not just Khatri, Mathur or Mistri, not  a single Congressmen who is president of city or district units or incharges of 8 zones made by Rahul Gandhi, just to build-up the Organisation hoping for a better results, had so far owned the responsibility of the humiliating defeat and had submitted the resignation. ``I decided to quit District Congress president but I decided against it when I found that my seniors are in no mood to do the same”, disclosed one of the Congress leader representing the district just adjacent to Faizabad, from where state president Nirmal Khatri, is hailing from.
