Tytler Is Backk

[Azaad]

The Congress party has apparently rehabilitated its controversial leader, Jagdish Tytler, by appointing him in charge of the Bihar unit. He replaces Iqbal Singh and is expected to play an active role in reviving the party’s base in that state. Singh was appointed lieutenant governor of Pondicherry earlier this week.

Tytler was dropped as the party candidate for the Northeast Delhi seat in the recent Lok Sabha elections. This was done in the wake of an incident in which a reporter hurled a shoe at Home Minister P Chidambaram to protest against the CBI’s ‘clean chit’ to Tytler over his alleged involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

The former minister’s political career has seen several twists and turns. He was given the party ticket from Northeast Delhi but the shoe-hurling incident once again brought into focus the case in which Tytler was an accused. As the matter threatened to snowball into a major political issue, fearing reprimand from the Sikh community in the Punjab elections, a nervous Congress persuaded Tytler and co-accused Sajjan Kumar to withdraw from the electoral fray.

The Congress is now preparing for the assembly polls in the state that are due next year and Tytler’s appointment comes at a time when a majority of leaders in the Bihar Congress unit feel the party should go it alone and not have any truck with Lalu Prasad Yadav’s RJD.
