Internal Rift in Chhattisgarh Congress Intensifies: Demand for Removal of State President Deepak Baij, Big Statement by Juneja
Raipur >>
Organizational discontent within the Chhattisgarh Congress is deepening day by day. The party is witnessing an unending series of accusations and counter-accusations. Recently, senior Congress leader Bhagat’s statement created a stir, and now former MLA Kuldeep Juneja has openly demanded the removal of Congress state president Deepak Baij. Juneja claims that party workers are unhappy with Baij’s leadership, which is weakening the organization.
Reasons for Discontent and Congress’s Decline
Former MLA Kuldeep Juneja has raised serious concerns about the state leadership, stating that many senior leaders and dedicated workers have been ignored, leading to a major setback for the party. He pointed out that the sidelining of leaders like Ajit Kukreja and Bunty Hora proved detrimental to Congress.
The denial of tickets to Ajit Kukreja and Bunty Hora resulted in discontent among party workers, which significantly impacted Congress’s electoral performance. The dissatisfaction among workers weakened the party’s hold, leading to continuous defeats.
Kuldeep Juneja’s Big Statement: Congress Needs Introspection
Emphasizing the need for introspection, Kuldeep Juneja stated, It is surprising that senior party members are unable to unite. If I have said something today, it must be understood in its depth. Congress needs to think seriously now.
He further added that simply saying We accept the mandate after every defeat is not the right approach. The party is facing successive losses, and if this attitude continues, Congress’s future could be in jeopardy.
Retaliation Against Purandar Mishra’s Statement
Recently, BJP leader Purandar Mishra made a controversial statement, saying, Congress leaders should pack their bags and move to Italy. This remark has further fueled resentment within Congress.
Responding sharply, Kuldeep Juneja retaliated, saying,
BJP’s Purandar Mishra, you should pack your bags and move to Odisha instead. You are not from Chhattisgarh. Also, do not forget the days when you were desperately seeking a BJP ticket. Never underestimate anyone.
Possibility of a Notice, Internal Conflict May Escalate.
According to sources, the Congress high command is likely to take Juneja’s statement seriously. It is anticipated that he might receive a show cause notice as a disciplinary measure.
This could further aggravate the party’s internal conflict, as discontent within the organization is already at a high level. If the leadership fails to take immediate corrective action, the rift within Congress may deepen.
Rising Questions on Deepak Baij’s Leadership: What Will Be Congress’s Next Move?
Kuldeep Juneja has raised serious questions about Deepak Baij’s leadership. There were already discussions within the party that workers were not happy with Baij’s leadership. Now that a senior leader has openly demanded his removal, the Congress high command will have to deliberate on the issue.
Factionalism and Leadership Crisis: A Threat to Congress
For a long time, the Chhattisgarh Congress has been struggling with factionalism and a leadership crisis. The party’s internal rift has widened post-election defeats. Now, with leaders publicly attacking each other, the organization may weaken even further.
If the Congress leadership does not take immediate steps to resolve the crisis, the party could suffer even greater setbacks in the upcoming elections. The most crucial task for Congress is to unite its leaders and workers and strengthen the organization.
Will Congress Leadership Replace Deepak Baij?
The biggest question now is whether the Congress high command will consider removing Deepak Baij as state president. If discontent continues to grow, the leadership might be forced to take action.
On the other hand, if the high command chooses to ignore Juneja’s statement, dissatisfaction within the party could further escalate.
A Tough Time for Congress
The Chhattisgarh Congress is currently going through one of its most challenging phases. Successive electoral defeats, internal discontent, and factionalism have weakened the party.
Kuldeep Juneja’s statement reflects the deep frustration within the party. It remains to be seen how the Congress leadership handles this crisis and whether Deepak Baij’s position is truly at risk.
