Over the weekend, the team, led by senior party leader Mallikarjun Kharge, started meeting the state leaders. They plan to meet all the state leaders individually.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh will be in Delhi tomorrow to meet the three-member party panel formed to resolve the infighting in the state. A section of the party has contended that they cannot win the assembly election due next year under the leadership of Mr Singh. The dissent grew to such proportions that party chief Sonia Gandhi had to form a team to look into the issue. Party sources have said grievances against the Chief Minister are varied, including under-representation of Dalits in the government and the inaccessibility of the Chief Minister due to his coterie. The state leaders are also hugely concerned over the government's inability to take action against the culprits in the cases involving desecration of Guru Granth Sahib and police firing during peaceful protests in 2015. The MLAs are now worried that since most of the promises have not been delivered over the last four-and-half years, they may face the wrath of rural voters the way the BJP is facing in Punjab, party sources said.
