The crisis concerning the Congress members in the Rajasthan Assembly ahead of the June 19 Rajya Sabha elections could be related to the party's internal politics, a senior Congress leader said on Thursday. However, a senior Congress leader claimed the crisis was a “manufactured one”, aimed at “projecting some leaders as saviours while others as working against the party”. “Any adverse development with regard to Mr. Venugopal will be a loss of face for Rahul ji. That is why Randeep Surjewala who is not only close to Rahul ji but also has a good rapport with the Congress MLAs in Rajasthan has been sent,” said a Congress insider. It’s all a well-planned exercise,” said another Congress leader.
