“The party can use me for election campaigning in Assam and West Bengal but not in my home State,” Lok Sabha member from Punjab and senior Congress leader Manish Tewari said on Saturday. Speaking to The Hindu a day after he was excluded from the party’s list of 30 star campaigners for the upcoming Punjab Assembly polls, Mr. Tewari said, “I would have been surprised if it had been the other way round.”
The outspoken Congress MP also shared his views on the “daily noise” over the leadership tussle in the State, asserting, “Those who put these people [the State leadership] in charge should fix it.”
