Even as Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee president Mohan Markam on June 24 played down the controversy over the high command reversing some of the recent organisational appointments made by him, sources close to the government insisted that the developments over the past few days have not gone down well with leaders in both Raipur and Delhi.
Insisting that the government and the Congress organisation in Chhattisgarh were on the same page, Mr. Markam said that all “orders and instructions of State in-charge Kumari Selja were being followed in the literal sense”.
The PCC president was referring to Ms. Selja’s letter dated June 22, in which she had reversed some organisational appointments made by him, including that of a new general secretary (organisation) of the State unit, an influential position in the party’s hierarchy.
