"We do not agree with it. Congress President Sonia Gandhi has always been fair and transparent in holding consultations," AICC spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed said in New Delhi.
He said consultations were held at every level in the party before taking decisions and the party President also held discussions with the various allies in the UPA.
Arjun Singh is also a member of the Congress Working Committee, in which the leaders can raise whatever issue they want and can have a free and frank discussion, Ahmed said.
Maintaining that the Congress has always had a tradition of holding discussions within the party, he denied suggestions that the leadership has any lack of communication or a trust deficit with any leader.
To a question that the CWC meetings are generally being held for obituary references, he claimed that they were regular meetings of the apex policymaking body of the party.
Arjun Singh had in an interview had said: "Earlier there were many opportunities to contribute to the decision and even major decisions of the Congress were taken after going through the process of consultations and people used to accept it.
"But now this process has fallen into a bit of disarray and when people do not have feeling that they have contributed to the decision making process, then they have no hassles in defying it," Singh said.
Ahmed, however, refused to directly comment on the book, saying, "I will not comment on the book before it is released and I don't know whether such an interview is there."
This is the second time in one month that the HRD Minister has found himself at odds with the party high command.
His statement that there was nothing wrong in projecting Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Ministerial candidate in the next elections had received a strong rebuff from the party leadership, with the AICC saying that Sonia and Rahul stayed away from an environment of sycophancy.
Please resign from the party and say there is no democracy,you are the original chamacha,and no body is more loyal than you.you have proved it time and again.i agree with you only rahul can rule this country,he has more experience than your age,Oh! arjuna,get up old man,fight to see that Rahul becomes PM.

After all, age does not spare any one, as it comes on its own for nay one on this earth. Congres senior leader Arjun singh is no exception. Being a vcitim of ageing factor, Arjun Singh is behaing queerly , as such his off ther cuff remarks should not be taken seriously. In the interest of the nation and congress party, Arjun singh should resign from the congress party and seek retirement from politics.
UPA ( Congress ) Ship is clearly visible to ending in sinking.....all rats r offered to jump out , if they think that this is the right time... we have one of such rat named - Arjun Snigh - Brainless Politician since birth... If Sonia declare him as PM candidate in next election, he will immediately take U turn....
Without backboneless cadres/voters; coward, incompetent leaders never survive, leave alone flourish. What Arjun Singh is doing for Gandhis, he gets the same treatment from his followers and that “loyalty” thing trickles down to the lowest level of our society. And it’s not limited to politics or Congress any more; we see the same almost everywhere in India; in other political parties, in offices (both private and public), in home, in schools, in universities etc. We enjoy being “loyal” to the powerful and happily oppress weaker, less fortunate people. We blame our employer when we are employee but do worse thing when we are employer (in home for domestic help/servants). If we want to change Arjun type “leaders”, we need to change ourselves first.
