Addressing a party event in Faridabad that followed a cleanliness drive, Khattar also targeted the opposition s INDIA bloc, saying it did not have a face or an ideology. At the party s panna pramukh sammelan , Khattar hailed the BJP s strong party structure from the national and state level right down to the grassroots. The chief minister said despite being formed before Independence, the Congress has not been able to fix its organisational structure in Haryana. What is the situation of the party In Haryana, they have not been able to set up their organisational structure. In past years, they made a state chief but failed to set up an organisational structure. Now, their state unit has a third chief (in the past nine years) but even today they don t have the courage to set up a party structure, he said. Khattar also claimed that there was infighting in the Haryana unit of Congress. Now, they are saying they will do an experiment to have a working president at the district level along with the district president... Because their leaders are fighting they should forget that they will have an organisation at the grassroot level, Khattar said. Former chief minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda denied any infighting within the state Congress unit. To a question if any issues of infighting were found when AICC coordinators and state coordinators held talks with party workers and leaders for feedback on the restructuring of the state unit, Hooda said, There is no groupism. The Congress is united. The entire process to establish a complete organisational structure in the state unit of the Congress party will be completed in the next five to six months, Deepak Babaria, the All India Congress Committee in-charge of Haryana, had said in August. Notably, for the last few years, the Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee has been functioning without a complete organisational structure at the block and district level. Khattar said that during the past nine years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a stable government with development in all spheres. People still remember the corruption and favouritism that was prevalent during the previous Congress-led UPA s time, he said. (editor dailyworld.in)
