NEW DELHI: Haryana Congress Leader Kuldeep Bishnoi on Monday he accused the party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad to plot a conspiracy with rivals to break the match.
The Adampur MLA also charged the veteran Congress leader of ruining the party in Haryana and claimed that Congress would have formed the government in the state in last year’s assembly elections if someone else, instead of Azad, had been in charge of party affairs.
On Sunday, Azad had said that there is a great disconnect between the people and the leaders of Congress and claimed that the “five-star culture” has infiltrated the party. He had called for a reform of the party structure by holding block elections at the state level.
Launching a searing attack on Azad in a video message on his Twitter account, Bishnoi said: “Azad says that elections must be conducted from the lower level to the upper level, but he must answer me when he was appointed president of the Jammu youth wing. and Kashmir and the All India Youth President, at that time why didn’t he talk about elections. ”
“What’s your story? In his entire life, he has only won three polls. Are you giving advice to the Congress Party? Are you speaking out against the Gandhi family who nominated you for Rajya Sabha five times? ”Bishnoi said.
Bishnoi, the youngest son of the former chief minister of Haryana Bhajan Lal, said: “I heard Ghulam Nabi Azad’s statement and I was shocked, hurt and very angry that such an important person was giving an irresponsible statement also on a public platform. It must be strongly condemned. ”
“What’s your story, twice Lok Sabha and once Vidhan Sabha. I have won more elections than you. I have won six elections, two Lok Sabha and four Vidhan Sabha, and I am still a legislator in office, ”Bishnoi said.
“I want to tell Azad Sahib that we will not let the conspiracy he is hatching with rival parties to break Congress to succeed,” he said.
The Haryana Congressional MLA called on party and worker leaders not to pay attention to “opportunist leaders” like Azad, whom it accused of “betraying” the Gandhi family.
“At J&K nobody gives you any weight and here you are giving advice.
And you give advice to the Gandhi family and betray them. Can anyone forget the sacrifice of the Gandhi family? Indira Gandhi and Rajiv gave their lives for the good of the nation. Sonia Gandhi, whose husband was assassinated, accepted the presidency for the good of the party, “he said.
Supporting the party’s top leadership, Bishnoi said: “Rahul is on tour across the country to strengthen the party. Can anyone work as hard as Rahul is doing? Priyanka is strengthening the party and is standing shoulder to shoulder with her brother Rahul. And today you (Azad) are betraying the Gandhi family. ”
“We will not let your plan succeed, Azad Sahib. We fully support the Gandhi family. If Rahul, Priyanka are there, only then will Congress stand, ”he said.
