The Congress on Friday released a list of its coordination committee with former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda as chairman, then withdrew it in less than an hour. Explained State polls coming up, party unit needs to shape up The announcement and subsequent withdrawal of its election coordination committee seems to suggest that all is not well within the Haryana Congress. It was around 4 pm on Friday when AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is in-charge of party affairs in Haryana, released the list of the coordination committee. Sources said that Hooda had been trying hard to be declared the Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) chief, a post that is currently held by Ashok Tanwar. Currently, out of 10 parliamentary constituencies in Haryana, the Congress represents only Rohtak, from where Hooda’s son Deepender is MP.
