Sulking Bishnoi skips Cong Chintan Shivir

-

tions broke out in the INLD rank and file. In a tweet, former J&K CM Omar Abdullah congratula­ted Chautala saying, “A person is never too old to learn.” Chautala appeared in the Class 10 exam in 2019 when he was lodged in Tihar jail, serving sentence in the teachers’ recruitmen­t scam. However, he could not appear in the English paper. He got a compartmen­t in English and his Class 12 result was not declared. Chautala appeared for his English compartmen­t exam in August 2021 and scored 88%. Finally, he received marksheets from the education board. The publicity this developmen­t generated also boosted the morale of the INLD.

Congress MLA from Adampur, Kuldeep Bishnoi, seems to have yet again joined the ranks of dissenters in the party. After being denied the chair of Haryana Congress president, Bishnoi had expressed his annoyance on social media and even sought answers from Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi. He probably did not get any. The son of former chief minister Bhajan Lal who had snapped ties with the Congress more than a decade ago to form his own outfit only to join the Congress a few years ago did not attend the Congress Chintan Shivir in Udaipur. His Twitter handle bore testimony to the fact that on Sunday, the concluding day of the Shivir, Bishnoi was touring his assembly constituen­cy, Adampur, in Hisar. He even retweeted a tweet by a journalist which said that the three-day shivir did not answer two questions. First, who will lead the party and how will the party get votes.
