Chandigarh, 23 June (Ajay Puri) : Chandigarh Member Parliament Manish Tewari has categorically said that Congress High Command has not consulted him for leadership changes in Punjab.
In an interview with The Tribune, Tewari said that according him organisational changes should be made at leader 24 months before the elections. He said that Conventional wisdom holds that if any organisational changes are contemplated at all in any state, the people who are going to be put in a position of authority or responsibility then should get enough time to deliver. And in my organisational sense, at least a 24-month lead up to an election would constitute a reasonable period of time.
He said that High command had consulted with som 60-odd leaders about the changes but he was not consulted about it.
He also said that in Punjab there was no caste or community based politics. He said that If that would have been the case, he would have never been the MP from either Ludhiana or Anandpur Sahib. He said that the essence of Punjab is Punjab, Punjabi and Punjabiyat.
