Congress dissenters join Ghulam Nabi Azad on Jammu trip
Some other issues being flagged by a section within the party include the emergence of a coterie around Rahul and the opaque decision-making processes
Several Congress leaders have joined the veteran Ghulam Nabi Azad in Jammu for an event in what could be the first public manifestation of a revolt brewing within the party after the collapse of a reconciliation process with dissenters known as the “Group of 23”.
There is more to the Jammu gathering than demonstration of solidarity with Azad whose Rajya Sabha term ended this month.
Although the contours of the future course of action have not taken shape yet, this is definitely a pressure tactic to make Rahul Gandhi understand that any decision to sideline the dissenters will not be tolerated. But for a substantial course correction by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul, a split in the Congress cannot be ruled out at this stage.
