‘reMove hari Prasad’

Hectic lobbying has started for the removal of Hari Prasad as AICC general secretary for Jharkhand and Sukhdev Bhagat as the PCC chief for Jharkhand. A group of leaders from Jharkhand, led by Ajoy Kumar, met senior leaders Motilal Vora, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Ahmad Patel last week to complain that ever since Bhagat has been made the PCC chief, the Congress has been on a decline in the state. The PCC office bearers have not visited a single district, or conducted any programmes. They alleged that Hari Prasad was refusing to take any action against the PCC chief, despite their complaints. They demanded that if the Congress wants to win the next Assembly elections, it should remove both of them. The delegation will come to Delhi again on 30 September to meet Rahul Gandhi. They could not meet him this time as he is in UP conducting his kisan yatra.
