New Delhi, 05 February 2022

As per news report of The Indian Express, Manish Tewari said he would have been “pleasantly surprised” if his name had featured in the list, and said the reason for the omission was “no state secret”. The list of 30 star campaigners, released on Friday by Congress general secretary K C Venugopal, featured the names of senior leaders including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Manmohan Singh. Tewari, along with Ghulam Nabi Azad were not mentioned. Incidentally, Tewari and Azad were among the ‘G-23’ rebel leaders who wrote to Sonia Gandhi last year, calling for radical changes in the party. “I would have been pleasantly surprised if it would have been the other way around. The reasons are also no state secret,” Tewari said in response to former Congress MP Abhijeet Mukherjee, who pointed out that several senior Congress leaders had been left out of the list.
