Cracks emerge in Congress 'G-23' as Jitin Prasada calls for unity amid infighting over ISF alliance in Bengal

Likely referring to the public spat between Congress leaders Anand Sharma and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Jitin Prasada said "now is the time for everyone to join hands".

Cracks emerged within the 'G-23' faction of the Congress on Monday with party leader Jitin Prasada calling for unity ahead of Assembly elections in four states and one UT. The swelling crowds at the historic brigade grounds in Kolkata are a sign of the growing angst ..Time for change. pic.twitter.com/Ck2783CTvY Alliance decisions are taken keeping in mind the best interests of the party and the workers. Now is the time for everyone to join hands and work towards strengthening the prospects of the Congress in the poll bound states. @INCIndia @rssurjewala @adhirrcinc @AnandSharmaINC Congress cannot be selective in fighting communalists but must do so in all its manifestations, irrespective of religion and colour. The presence and endorsement West Bengal PCC President is painful and shameful, he must clarify. 4/4Know ur facts @AnandSharmaINC -4. Would urge a select group of distinguished Congressmen to rise above always seeking personal comfort spots & stop wasting time singing praises of PM.They owe a duty to strengthen the Party & not undermine the tree that nurtured them. Labeled unofficially as the 'G-23', this faction refers to a group of 23 Congressman who wrote to interim party president Sonia Gandhi last year, demanding a complete overhaul of the Congress. Among these senior leaders was former MoS Jitin Prasada. Less than a week ago, the 'G-23' leaders famously shared a stage in Jammu during a function of an NGO of which Ghulam Nabi Azad is the president.
