New Delhi: Veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad quit the Congress party today and resigned from all his posts. In a five-page letter addressed to party president Sonia Gandhi, Azad said that the situation in Congress has reached a point of ‘no return’. Congress veteran and part of the G-23 dissident group called Rahul Gandhi for his immaturity and for ‘demolishing the consultative mechanism’ in the party.
“The entire organizational election process is a farce and a sham. At no place anywhere in the country have elections been held at any level of the organization. Handpicked lieutenants of the AICC have been coerced to sign on lists prepared by the coterie that runs the AICC sitting in 24 Akbar Road”, said Azad in his letter.
Azad further said in his letter that since the 2019 elections, the situation of the party has worsened and Rahul Gandhi stepped down in a huff and not before insulting all senior party functionaries. The former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister wrote in his letter that INC has lost two Lok Sabha elections and 39 out of 49 assembly elections, in a humiliating manner.
