Chandigarh: The ongoing speculation about the post of president in the Haryana Congress may soon come to rest. It is reported that the party may announce the name of the new state president in a week. Recently, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi had also met party leaders from Haryana and asked them to work together. It was being said that former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda was recommending the replacement of the current president Kumari Selja and handing over the reins to his son Deepender Hooda.
Media reports quoting sources said that the Congress high command will announce the Haryana party president in a week. Former Chief Minister Hooda's name is ahead for the post. On Monday, Haryana Congress in-charge Vivek Bansal held a meeting with party working president Sonia Gandhi at her residence. Interestingly, in view of the Haryana Assembly elections, the party was already preparing for a change in leadership. Because Congress is in the process of making changes at the organisation level to build a strong base.
Apart from this, due to the increasing activism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the state, it has also become necessary for Congress to end factionalism. After facing major defeats in five states, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) has decided to change the organisation.
