Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has appointed Rajya Sabha members Syed Naseer Hussain and Chaya Verma as the party’s whips in the Upper House.

With Mr. Hussain, Chief Whip Jairam Ramesh and Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge representing Karnataka, certain sections are wondering why both the whips were not appointed from Hindi heartland States. However, Ms. Verma is from Chhattisgarh.
