MP Jyotiraditya Scindia likely to be the next leader of Congress in Lok Sabha
Four-time Congress MP from Madhya Pradesh Jyotiraditya Scindia is being considered as the first preference for the position of the new parliamentary party leader in the Lok Sabha. Mallikarjun Kharge, who was the erstwhile party leader for the same, would be accommodated in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). As per the report by a leading daily, senior Congress leader Kamal Nath was the second choice after Scindia.
However, in a quest to empower and induct young leaders in the party, Congress is ensuring the senior leaders don’t fill major posts. Congress has been implementing various structural and organisational changes to stay in the game and eventually give a tough competition to the BJP in the near future.
The party similarly plans to induct young faces in primary roles for the upcoming civic body elections in Uttar Pradesh too. Party president of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) Raj Babbar, former MP Vivek Bansal, former MP from Varanasi, Rajesh Mishra, sitting MLA from Rampur Khas Aradhna Mishra and former MLA from Muzaffarnagar Pankaj Mallik, etc., were present during the party meeting. The primary reason behind the meeting was to form a new line of leadership in the Congress party.
Sharman Joshi
Sharman Joshi came to fame with romantic-comedy ‘Style’ (2001), his first hit. But, he was already a known face by then with few films to his credit. However, the actor was still trying to set his foot in the industry and had his share of struggle too. In a recent interview, the actor remembered his struggling days.
The ‘3 Idiots’ actor used to call the director for work in those days. “There was a director, who used to have telephone numbers of many directors from Bollywood. I took the list from him and would call them on their landline as those were ‘no mobile’ phone days. One thing that helped me big time was my background in theatre,” shared Sharman.
But Sharman also confessed that some directors’ would also be considerate. “When I would call the directors and they would talk very respectfully, some even called for a meeting. See, people from showbiz business understand what it takes to be here. So whether you work together or not, that doesn’t really matter. In fact, even today, I just pick up the call and dial to people I want to work with,” said Sharman who made his debut in Bollywood with Godmother in 1999.
