In a fresh jolt to the Congress, senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad resigned from all party posts, including the party’s primary membership.
Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday resigned from all posts of the party, including the primary leadership, sending a five-page note to party interim president Sonia Gandhi where he recounted his long association with the party and his close relationship with Indira Gandhi.
The situation in the Congress party has reached a point of ‘no return’, Ghulam Nabi Azad wrote in his detailed resignation letter, days after he resigned from the organisational post of Jammu and Kashmir citing health issues.
To recall, Ghulam Nabi Azad, who was a member of the group of 23 leaders who sought systemic changes in the Congress party, had some days ago stepped down as chairman of the campaign committee in Jammu and Kashmir.
The BJP leadership at one time wanted to appoint Ghulam Nabhi as the President of India. There was also a talk that he would be joining the BJP.
The fact is that he is very close to PM Narendra Modi even after being a senior leader in the Congress party.
Responding to Azad’s exit, the BJP said that the Congress party is a sinking ship with no leadership or ideology.
