Haryana Congress CLP Resolves Leadership Appointment

Following the Congress party's significant defeat in the recent Haryana Assembly elections, the Haryana Congress Legislature Party (CLP) convened its first meeting to address leadership issues. The meeting resulted in a resolution granting the party's high command the authority to appoint the next CLP leader, as no consensus emerged among the 37 MLAs present. While former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda retains support from the majority of MLAs, there are factions advocating for a younger leader to replace him. Observers, including Ashok Gehlot and Ajay Maken, engaged with legislators to collect feedback on leadership preferences. Despite Hooda's backing, the internal conflict highlights the party's struggle after securing only 37 of the 90 seats in the Assembly, while the BJP won 48 seats. The decision on the new leader will ultimately rest with the AICC president, following the feedback from the observers.
