The trouble shooter of the Congress and former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Digvijay Singh today expressed anger at the behaviour of the senior leaders of the party, at Gandhi Bhavan in Nampally.
He asked the leaders why they were behaving irresponsibly by approaching the media over the internal problems of the party instead of becoming role models to others.
Singh made these remarks during his meeting with the senior leaders of the party.
Singh held one-to-one meeting with the disgruntled party leaders and recorded their grievances, and promised to address them.
He said that classifying leaders into junior and senior was not good for the party, and that all the leaders had equal responsibility to bring the party into power again in the next Assembly elections in Telangana.
Singh also told the leaders that the party high command was observing every development in the State with keen interest, and warned them that the high command would not be a mute spectator if any of the leaders crossed the line of discipline.
He also asked the senior leaders about the strategies they had to defeat the ruling BRS in the next Assembly elections, and the role they were going to play in the exercise.
Speaking to media persons after his meeting with Singh, CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said that the senior leaders discussed contemporary political, economic and social issues with Singh.
Meanwhile, some student leaders of Osmania University tried to attack former MLA and party leader E Anil Kumar at Gandhi Bhavan protesting against the recent comments made by him against the senior leaders. The situation suddenly turned violent at Gandhi Bhavan due to these attempts of the student leaders to attack Anil Kumar. However, TPCC senior vice-president Mallu Ravi intervened and pacified the student leaders.
Speaking on the occasion, the student leaders alleged that the party high command had not given them adequate importance although they had been working for the party for a long time. They also alleged that some leaders of the party were trying to damage it in Telangana.
