999New Delhi (05.02.2022): Congress leadership has dropped two G-23 members – Ghulam Nabi Azad and Manish Tewari from the list of star campaigners for Punjab Assembly Election 2022. At the same time, two G-23 members Anand Sharma and Bhupinder Singh Hooda have been included as star campaigners. The list draws sharp criticism from former President Pranab Mukherjee’s son and former Congress MP Abhijit Mukherjee, who is now with Trinamool Congress. “Sad state of affairs in Punjab Congress as they exclude a prominent senior congress leader, MP from Punjab & former minister Manish Tewari Ji from the list of star campaigners in poll-bound Punjab! Such narrow-minded steps will never help Congress to win elections!” said Abhijit. Manish Tewari replied to Abhijit on Twitter: “I would have been surprised if it would have been the other way around. The reasons have been a Public Affair now for quite a while Abhijit Da,” said Tewari. Azad and Tewari are among the prominent members of the G-23 who had written to party leaders seeking an overhaul and have been questioning the leadership. Two members of G-23 Anand Sharma and Bhupinder Singh Hooda are among the star campaigners for Punjab. It appears as if Congress leadership is trying to ‘accommodate few useful G-23 leaders’ and gradually isolate Azad and Tewari.
