Chhattisgarh Congress in limbo after AICC reverses PCC chief’s appointments

Amidst reports of a tussle between Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and Chhattisgarh Congress president Mohan Markam, the All India Congress Committee Chhattisgarh in charge Kumari Selja on June 22 reversed some recent organisational appointments made by Mr. Markam.

Key among them was cancelling Mr. Markam’s decision to appoint Arun Sisodia – who hails from Bhilai and is close to the State president – as general secretary of the State unit. The decision was taken after a meeting at Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s residence, said sources.

“Earlier, there were two general secretaries. Mr. Ghosh was the general secretary (administration) and Amarjeet Chawla was the general secretary (organisation). Mr. Markam decided to replace both with Mr. Sisodia, which some party leaders objected to. Consequently, the decision was reversed and Mr. Ghosh was brought back as the single general secretary by Ms. Selja,” said a party source.
