Azad quits Cong: 'Immature Rahul has destroyed party'

New Delhi: In the most sensational exit from Congress in the continuing post-2019 exodus, veteran Ghulam Nabi Azad resigned from the party on Friday, accusing Rahul Gandhi of reducing to "ruins" what was once a "national movement" that won the country independence.

He traced the decline of Congress to the induction of the Gandhi scion in politics in 2004 and specifically to his appointment as party vice-president in 2013 mocking him for "immaturity", "childish behaviour", and calling him a "non-serious" person surrounded by "a coterie of sycophants".

Azad, who severed his over half-century association with Congress with a five-page letter to Sonia Gandhi, said the party has been "comprehensively destroyed" and the situation is "irretrievable".

Decisions taken by Rahul's security guards, PAs: Azad

New Delhi: In his no-holds-barred resignation letter to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Ghulam Nabi Azad accused Rahul Gandhi of demolishing the "consultative mechanism" that existed in the party, and said decisions are now taken by his "security guards and PAs".
