The Haryana Congress leadership is once again a hot topic. A new update suggests that Bhupinder Singh Hooda might face challenges as Randeep Singh Surjewala is being considered for the position of Haryana Congress President.
Why is this Change Important?
Currently, Udaybhan is the Haryana Congress President, and he is known to be close to Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Because of this, Hooda has strong influence over the party in Haryana. But now, there are talks of replacing the president, and sources say that Randeep Surjewala is leading the race. This could reduce Hooda’s power in the party.
Surjewala vs Hooda – The Internal Fight
In the Lok Sabha elections, Congress performed well by winning five seats after a poor previous performance. However, in the Haryana Assembly elections, the party faced defeat. One major reason for this was internal conflicts between senior leaders Hooda, Surjewala, and Kumari Selja.
Even Rahul Gandhi was reportedly upset about how the party lost after coming close to victory. Due to these internal fights, Congress has not even decided on the Leader of the Opposition in the Haryana Assembly yet.
Has the Rivalry Between Surjewala and Selja Ended?
Recently, Randeep Surjewala and Kumari Selja were seen sharing the stage and talking on multiple occasions. This has led to speculation that their past differences are now resolved. During the elections, both leaders even came together for campaigning, which created more challenges for Hooda.
According to party insiders, the biggest internal fight in Haryana Congress now seems to be between Hooda and Surjewala. If Surjewala becomes the new Haryana Congress President, it could bring major changes in party leadership.
