Mumbai Congress hit by infighting, complaints reach Sonia Gandhi

MUMBAI: While the crucial elections to the BMC are a few months away, infighting in the Congress seems to have reached its peak, with the city Youth Congress chief, Zeeshan Siddiqui, knocking at the doors of Congress president Sonia Gandhi over the ‘indifferent’ attitude of Mumbai Congress president Bhai Jagtap.
Apparently, on November 14 when the Congress launched a statewide agitation against spiraling prices of petroleum products in Mumbai, supporters of Jagtap abused and heckled Siddiqui, a charge denied by the Mumbai Congress president.It was Siddiqui’s second letter in the recent past to Gandhi against Jagtap.
In his letter, Siddqui has stated that when he participated in the morcha, Jagtap made derogatory remarks against him in the presence of AICC general secretary K C Venugopal.
“Stern action should be taken against Jagtap in view of his rude behaviour,” Siddiqui said.
