Youth Cong bears the brunt of bickering

The factionalism within Haryana

Congress, it seems, has started to gnaw at the state Youth Congress as well. Or that was the buzz during the three-day training camp held in Chandigarh last week for newly elected officeholders of Youth Congress in the state. Besides Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Amarinder

Singh Raja Warring, MLA from Gidderbaha in Punjab, Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda was among Haryana Congress leaders who addressed the meet. Neither Randeep Surjewala nor Ashok Tanwar, both former chiefs of IYC, or former State Youth Congress leaders such as Amit Sihag, Sanjay Chokkar or Chiranjeev Rao were present. Several members sought their participation, pointing out Hooda junior had no YC background.
