While two major political parties in the state—the Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)—are smartingfrom rebellion, all is not well with the Congress. Factionalism in the grand old party’s Mumbai unit has seen a rise and no executive committee meeting has been held since the appointment of the new party president last month. Former minister Varsha Gaikwad was appointed Mumbai Congress chief on June 9, replacing MLC Bhai Jagtap.
“Traditionally, the Mumbai Congress Committee holds a meeting after the appointment of a new president. It has been more than 20 days since the new president was appointed, but the executive meeting is yet to be held,” a source said. A Congress worker said, “It is not a rule that the meeting has to happen; it is akin to a get-together so the president understands the functioning of the committee.”
