Congress Dissenters

Indian politics has reached a critical juncture, where finding a resolution to the current turmoil seems elusive. While dissent and disagreements are inherent to political discourse, they should not translate into anti-national activities.

Congress's P Chidambaram stopped short of questioning the Supreme Court verdict on notes ban today, and instead, pointed out its shortcomings.

About who'll lead the party in the Rajasthan election due in a year, Rahul Gandhi said, "Ask (Mallikarjun) Kharge ji. He is the party president."

Calling Mallikarjun Kharge's victory "a victory of the Congress", Shashi Tharoor said the Congress presidential election has energised party workers to take on the challenge the BJP poses in upcoming elections.

Congress MP Manish Tewari may become the second member of the party's "G-23" group of dissenters to join the increasingly chaotic contest for Congress chief after Shashi Tharoor, sources have hinted.

With internal polls, demands of 23 dissenting leaders met, says Prithviraj Chavan; insists chief be fulltime, opposing Ashok Gehlot's two-post idea

Ghulam Nabi Azad, who quit the Congress on Friday, met with three leaders of the party who were part of the "G-23" or group of dissenters - Anand Sharma, Prithviraj Chavan and Bhupinder Hooda.

JD(S) on Monday faced another round of dissidence with its MLC requesting voters to back a Congress nominee in the election to Legislative Council from the South Graduates' constituency.

The Congress list of Rajya Sabha candidates has caused massive resentment in the ranks, especially among the "dissenters" and those left out.

Congress dissenters' demand to revive the party's parliamentary board has made it to the list of suggestions to be examined by the Congress Working Committee (CWC), but is unlikely to be accepted, sources said.

A key demand of the dissenters in the party to constitute the congress parliamentary board has been accepted as a suggestion at the party's big meet in Rajasthan. The suggestion now needs the approval of the Congress Working Committee.

The Congress is holding a three-day brainstorming session or Chintan Shivir in Rajasthan's Udaipur in the shadow of poll debacles and dissent in the party which has seen a sharp decline in the last seven years.

With Congress president Sonia Gandhi meeting leaders of the G-23 grouping to resolve internal party issues, former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar on Wednesday said "indulging the dissenters too much" will encourage more dissent.

Ahead of a key internal meeting of the Congress today, senior party leader Vivek Tankha -- known to be one of the G-23 leaders -- tweeted an appeal to "rebuild the idea of India again".
