Congress Data Head's '1 Person, 1 Post' Tweet Leaves Party Red-Faced
NDTV
Outbursts like this are no longer rare in the Congress, which has seen much internal churning over the past two years and is currently facing the resentment of party leaders over its Rajya Sabha picks.
A Congress leader's tweet against a party leader has once again underlined the fissures over a rule that critics say makes exceptions for top leaders.
Praveen Chakravarty, the Congress's Data Analytics chairman, appeared to take shots at the party's Maharashtra chief Nana Patole in his tweet this morning.
On Wednesday, Nana Patole had stressed that in Maharashtra, the party would enforce a "One person one post" policy adopted in the Udaipur "Chintan Shivir". Office bearers with more than one post would quit their additional posts.
Flagging a newspaper report, Praveen Chakravarty highlighted the word "worker" in the headline and wrote: "No worker will hold more than one post". Applies only to 'workers'!"
