Ghulam Nabi Azad destroys Rahul Gandhi in resignation letter. 7 top criticisms

With sharp jabs at the Gandhi’s, senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad resigned from the Congress today and blamed Rahul Gandhi for his exit. In a fiery resignation letter, Azad tore into Rahul Gandhi, claiming that all key decisions in the party were being taken by his security guards and personal assistants.

He blamed Rahul Gandhi for demolishing the consultative mechanism of the party and was appointed as vice president in 2013. He said, “All experienced leaders were sidelined and a new coterie of inexperienced sycophants started running the affairs of the party.”

HERE’S WHAT HE HAS SAID ABOUT RAHUL GANDHI

– The childish behaviour of Rahul Gandhi

– Consultative process demolished by Rahul

– All senior leaders sidelined

– Coterie of inexperienced sycophants running party

– Tearing govt ordinance glaring example of rahul immaturity

– Rahul’s act led to 2014 UPA defeat

– Rahul stepped down as Cong Prez in a huff

In a letter addressed to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Azad cited the sidelining of senior leaders and the increasing sway of a “coterie of inexperienced sycophants” as the reasons behind his exit from the party.

The development comes after Azad quit the post of the head of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress campaign committee on August 16.

The former Rajya Sabha MP also lashed out at Rahul Gandhi, blaming his “immaturity” for the Congress’s dwindling political clout and poor performance in elections.

“One of the most glaring examples of this immaturity was the tearing up of a government ordinance in the full glare of the media by Rahul Gandhi… This ‘childish’ behaviour completely subverted the authority of the Prime Minister and government of India. This one single action more than anything else contributed significantly to the defeat of the UPA government in 2014,” wrote Azad in the letter.
