MUMBAI: The Congress has reacted angrily to NCP Chief SharadPawar's statement on Sunday which "appeared to ridicule" the decision to appoint Rahul Gandhi as the party's vice- president.
On Monday taking a dig at its alliance partner, state Congress president Manikrao Thakre stated that unlike the NCP the Congress doesn't have any doubts on who should lead the party. "The Congress is not unstable, we are very clear in our minds as to who should be leading our party, unlike the NCP that is confused between Ajit Pawar and Supriya Sule to lead the party," Thakre added.
The Congress leader's remark was supposed to hurt the NCP as there is a power struggle going on between the Pawar's nephew Ajit and his daughter Supriya.
Thakre's statement came after NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday when asked to react on Rahul Gandhi's ascension to the Congress top post said, "Let them decide, it is their party's decision. How can I comment on other party's functioning? As far as our party is concerned we still don't have reached the situation where the party has to work under Supriya." Pawar's statement was clearly snubbing the Congress choice. The remark meant that all the senior Congress leaders would now have to work under Rahul's regime.
