The much speculated and delayed Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) is expected to be released in a day or two. The PCC president Pritam Singh left for New Delhi on Monday where he would meet senior party leaders and discuss the shape of his new team.
Leader of Opposition (LoP) Indira Hridayesh is also in Delhi and it is learnt that the PCC would be declared soon. While talking to the mediapersons in Dehradun recently the PCC president, Pritam Singh had claimed that the PCC would be declared soon and he would visit Delhi to have discussion on it.
Prior to her departure to New Delhi, LoP Indira Hridayesh too had expressed similar sentiments.
According to the sources the duo of Pritam Singh and Indira Hridayesh would camp in national Capital for three days during which they would hold elaborate discussion on the shape, size and the office-bearers with senior Congress leader and general secretary of All India Congress Committee (AICC), KC Venugopal in Delhi.
After a long wait of more than two-and-half years, Pritam Singh had suspended the old PCC last month. It was expected that he would declare new PCC shortly after suspension of old one but internal squabbles of the State unit of the Congress party has ensured delay.
It is clear that apart from maintaining regional balance in his team, Pritam Singh would have to deal with the intense pressure of the camps headed by former Chief Minister Harish Rawat and former PCC chief Kishore Upadhyaya for accommodating their supporters in the new PCC.
The PCC president has teamed up with LoP Indira Hridayesh to create a formidable camp in the Congress party. It remains to be seen how leaders of these different camps are accommodated in the new PCC.
