As the new president of Haryana Congress, Udaybhan has been given the command, who is considered close to Bhupinder Singh Hooda. For a long time, former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda was demanding that the state president should be changed. His feud with former state president Kumari Selja was well known. But the removal of Kumari Selja, who belonged to the Dalit community, had doubts in the minds of the high command that doing so would send a wrong message to her fraternity. In such a situation, the high command has created a balance by bringing in Udaybhan. He comes from the Dalit community and is also close to Bhupinder Singh Hooda. In this way Sonia Gandhi has tried to end the discord in Haryana.
Randeep Surjewala was also not sidelined
More importantly, the Congress high command has given the mandate to Bhupinder Singh Hooda, but has not let down other leaders either. It can be said that the high command has maintained its balance even after giving command to a close friend of Hooda. The reason for this is that apart from Udaybhan, the party has also announced the names of 4 working presidents, who are close to different leaders. The newly appointed working president Suresh Gupta is considered close to Randeep Singh Surjewala, who is considered part of Team Rahul. Apart from this, Shruti Chaudhary, daughter of former Legislature Party leader Kiran Chaudhary, has also been made the working president.
Close to Kumari Selja also has a place in the team
Apart from this, Jitendra Kumar Bhardwaj, who comes from the Brahmin community, has also been made the working president. He is counted among the close leaders of Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who has also worked as a spokesperson in the state Congress. Apart from this, there was also the president of Gurugram district. At the same time, Ramkishan Gujjar, a close aide of Kumari Selja, who was recently removed from the post of president, has also been given a chance. He has been a two-time MLA, although he had to face defeat from Narayangarh seat in 2014.
The phrase of Ram-Gaya Ram was made on Udaybhan’s father
Talking about Udaybhan, he is a 4-time MLA and is active in politics since 1987. He had reached the assembly for the first time on Lok Dal ticket from Hasanpur seat and won as an independent candidate in 2000. In 2005, he won on Congress ticket. Since then, he has been with the Congress continuously and is counted among the loyalists of Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Udaybhan is the son of former MLA Gayalal, who won from Hasanpur seat in 1967 and 1977. He had taken membership of three parties in 1967 within just 15 days. The phrase ‘Aaya Ram, Gaya Ram’ was made on him.
