Assam Congress Leaders Discontent with NSUI President Appointment
The Congress party in Assam has a new youth leader named Kaushik Kashyap.
Some senior leaders are unhappy with this choice because Kashyap is involved in a criminal case.
The case is about an incident in February where a party worker was allegedly attacked with weapons, related to a membership drive.
This new leader's selection has surprised some, as it might damage the party's reputation.
The way the party chooses its leaders has changed, with a new process based on membership drives, which is also linked to the February incident.
Kaushik Kashyap was appointed as the new NSUI State president in Assam.
Senior Congress leaders expressed concern about Kashyap's selection due to a pending criminal case.
Kashyap is named in an FIR regarding an alleged assault on a party worker at Rajiv Bhavan in February.
The assault reportedly stemmed from a dispute over a membership drive using sharp weapons.
A new selection method based on membership drives was used this year, tied to the February incident.
