Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma asserted on Friday that only Gandhis will remain in the Congress. This comes after the resignation of Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad.
CM Sarma discussed a letter he and the congress leader wrote in 2015 and its parallels. He asserted, “In Congress, everyone knows Rahul Gandhi is immature. Sonia Gandhi is not taking care of the party. She is only trying to promote her son. It is a futile attempt.”
CM Sarma continued, “I had predicted that a moment for Congress will come when only Gandhis will remain in the party and it is happening. People who are loyal to the Congress are departing as a result of Sonia’s fruitless endeavour.”
He added, “Rahul Gandhi is essentially a blessing for the BJP.
Senior Congressman Ghulam Nabi Azad announced his resignation from the party earlier today while taking potshots at the Gandhis and the party’s organisational leadership.
Azad explained his decision to leave the party in a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, citing the marginalisation of veteran figures and the growing influence of a “coterie of inexperienced sycophants.”
The former Rajya Sabha member also attacked Rahul Gandhi, blaming him for the Congress’s declining political influence and dismal electoral results.
On August 16, Azad resigned from her position as director of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress campaign committee.
