Congress top brass live in ivory tower: Tipanya

Indore, June 2 (UNI): The top Congress leadership was hit by friendly fire on Sunday when Padma Shri Prahlad Singh Tipanya – who unsuccessfully contested as party candidate from Dewas (Scheduled Castes) in the 17th general election – accused them of having no inkling whatsoever of ground realities.

“The Congress organisation is visible only on paper and the predominant reason for its debacle is groupism. The party’s senior positions are occupied by persons possessing casteist mentality who neither grant audience nor weightage to dedicated workers that are also less in number,” the sexagenarian folk singer – who performs Kabir bhajans – told the press here.

Tipanya was in Madhya Pradesh’s commercial capital to attend a review meeting.

He was vanquished in the polls by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Mahendra Singh Solanky.
