3 reasons why Congress may replace Adhir Ranjan as leader in Lok Sabha

Congress president Sonia Gandhi is likely to replace Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury as the party's Lok Sabha leader ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament.

There is a strong likelihood that Congress president Sonia Gandhi may replace Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury as the leader of the party in the Lok Sabha ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, set to begin on July 19. The decision comes as a surprise as Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has been a strong Gandhi family loyalist and taken the critics head-on time and again. His reactions against the G-23, the group of 23 Congress leaders who demanded overhaul of the party organisation including open and fair election to the party’s presidential post, were the sharpest last year.
