A day after veteran Congress leader Anand Sharma resigned from the chairmanship of the party’s Steering Committee for (poll-bound) Himachal Pradesh, party president Sonia Gandhi on Monday summoned AICC in-charge for the State, Rajeev Shukla, and is said to have directed him to address Mr. Sharma’s concerns.
Sources said that while Mr. Shukla called on Mr. Sharma thereafter, general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal also spoke to him to address the issues he had raised.
On Sunday, Mr. Sharma had gone public to announce his resignation from the Steering Committee, citing “continuing exclusion and insults”.
