Haryana Congress leader Kuldeep Sharma has written to the party's high command, urging them to adopt a 'no Chief Minister face' policy for the upcoming state assembly elections. Sharma argues that the party should contest the polls under a collective leadership model rather than projecting a single individual as the face of the campaign.

In his communication, Sharma specifically pointed to the recent strategy employed in Punjab, where the party utilized a similar approach under the guidance of in-charge Sachin Pilot. By advocating for this model, Sharma suggests that focusing on the party as a whole, rather than a specific candidate, could be a more effective electoral strategy for the Congress in Haryana.

While the proposal reflects a push for internal unity and a focus on collective efforts, it also highlights ongoing discussions within the party regarding how to best position itself against political opponents. The move is seen as an attempt to avoid internal factionalism that often arises when a single leader is prioritized over others. As of now, the party leadership has not issued a formal response to Sharma’s suggestion, leaving the question of whether they will adopt this strategy or choose a specific candidate for the top post unresolved.
