A video aired on NDTV captures Haryana Congress senior leader Kuldeep Sharma delivering a pointed critique of the faction aligned with former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Sharma's remarks, made in a public forum, underscore growing tensions between the two camps within the state party.
The footage has sparked discussion among party workers and observers, who note that internal disagreements have intensified ahead of upcoming electoral contests. While Sharma did not name specific policies, his comments were directed at the leadership style and strategic choices of the Hooda group.
Party insiders say the rift reflects competing visions for the Congress's revival in Haryana, with Sharma representing a segment that seeks a distinct approach from the legacy leadership. The episode adds to a series of recent public spats that have highlighted factionalism in the state's political landscape.
No official response from the Hooda camp has been recorded as of now, and the Congress's central office has not issued a statement on the matter. The episode is likely to influence internal deliberations as the party prepares for future elections.
The video continues to circulate on social media, further amplifying the perception of a deepening divide within Haryana's Congress ranks.
