Minister Khuddiyan publicly criticised internal strife within the Congress, stating that the party has been uneasy for a considerable period.
Congress minister Khuddiyan addressed the media on Tuesday, highlighting growing disquiet within the party ranks. He asserted that internal disagreements have been simmering for months, affecting the party's cohesion and public image.
The minister did not name specific factions but warned that unchecked dissent could erode the Congress's electoral prospects. Party insiders say the remarks reflect mounting pressure on senior leaders to resolve lingering disputes.
Analysts note that such candid statements are rare in Indian politics, where internal conflicts are often managed behind closed doors. Khuddiyan's comments may prompt a re‑evaluation of the party's internal mechanisms ahead of upcoming state elections.
The Congress leadership has yet to issue an official response, but sources indicate a meeting of senior officials is being scheduled to address the concerns raised.
Observers will watch closely how the party navigates this turbulence, as unity remains crucial for its revival on the national stage.
