Congress leader targets party top guns, asks them to confront BJP
BHOPAL: Congress leader and former hockey Olympian Aslam Sher Khan on Tuesday asked the "big daddies" of the Congress party from the state to confront the ruling-BJP and "fight like men instead of sitting in their bungalows in New Delhi."
Khan named former Union minister Kamal Nath, AICC general secretary Digvijaya Singh and former Union minister of state Jyotiraditya Scindia as the party's elite who are responsible for alienating common people from the Congress.

Speaking to reporters about the by-poll results of Bihar, Khan said, "Former Bihar chief ministers Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad were the first to realize after the Lok Sabha elections that BJP's communal forces would be on the onslaught if secular parties did not unite. That is the reason why JD (U)-RJD combine secured six out of 10 assembly seats in Bihar. If the big leaders of Bihar can shed their egos and unite for the secular cause, why can't the Congress leaders unite in Madhya Pradesh?"
He accused that the Congress party in the state are divided into club class and cattle class. While the BJP takes pride in making the son of a tea-seller the Prime Minister of the country and the son of a farmer as the chief minister of the state, the Congress has increasingly alienated itself from the common people and its workers, Khan added.
"After three debacles in the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, the party's central leaders from the state should come back here. Digvijaya Singh should resign as AICC general secretary and come to fight the BJP in the state. Kamal Nath and Scindia should also come to Bhopal and hold training camps to mobilize party workers. Why are they still in New Delhi? There is no work left to be done there," Khan said.
