CNN-IBN reports: The rift within the Congress party seems to be wide open.

According to sources, senior party leaders like former finance minister P Chidambaram and former Union minister Kamal Nath are upset with the Congress high command over not being invited for the event organised on the 125th birth anniversary of former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

The leaders are reportedly upset with Anand Sharma who was the main organiser of the event.
