New Delhi: There has been a crisis in the Congress as the party leaders are rebelling against the leadership. After Assam, Maharashtra, Haryana Congress leader Birendra Singh is rebelling against the state government and even demanded Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda's ouster, said sources on Monday.
Singh even reached out to the Bharatiya Janata Party and sought appointment with party President Amit Shah.
The development comes even as Assembly polls are scheduled in the state in the year-end.
Voices of dissent have been growing in the Congress ever since the party was decimated to its worst ever tally in the Lok Sabha elections this May.
Senior Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh said, "Our leaders leaving is a setback for us definitely. People win and lose elections but it's not a ground for leaving the party. They should also introspect and we are also in touch with them."
Earlier in the day, Narayan Rane from Maharashtra and Himanta Biswa Sarma from Assam resigned from the respective state Cabinets. Both Rane and Sarma have pointed fingers at their state party leaderships and chief ministers for the poor show by Congress. They have blamed the chief ministers of turning a blind eye towards the aggressive campaigning by the Narendra Modi-led BJP and the poor track record of the state governments which according to them resulted in the drubbing.
