Cong vs Cong: Adhir lashes out at Anand Sharma

March 02, 2021 13:32

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury today posted a series of tweets in a scorching thread titled "Know Your Facts, Anand Sharma".

Anand Sharma had yesterday questioned the Bengal Congress for its decision to tie up with the ISF (Indian Secular Front) for polls in the state starting later this month. The Congress cannot be "selective" about fighting communalism, the former Union Minister tweeted.

Adhir Chowdhury today said he would urge "a select group of distinguished Congressmen to rise above always seeking personal comfort spots" and stop singing praises of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He appeared to refer to Anand Sharma as well as Ghulam Nabi Azad, who said he felt "proud" of leaders like PM Modi. Both are part of the Congress dissidents' group known as the "G-23", which has routinely criticized party decisions since it wrote a controversial letter calling for "full-time and visible leadership" in the party, apparently targeting the Gandhis.

"Would urge a select group of distinguished Congressmen to rise above always seeking personal comfort spots & stop wasting time singing praises of PM. They owe a duty to strengthen the Party and not undermine the tree that nurtured them," Chowdhury, the chief of the Congress in Bengal, posted.

He also said the Congress was a part of the CPI(M)-led Left Front in Bengal, which was "determined to defeat BJP". Calling the decision of the front "communal" would only play into the hands of the BJP, he commented.
