Moments after calling the contents of Ghulam Nabi Azad’s fiery resignation letter “inaccurate”, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh questioned his character, reported NDTV.
“GNA’s DNA has been modi-fied,” he said, accusing him of “betraying” the grand old party.
“A man who has been treated by the greatest respect by the Congress leadership has betrayed it by his vicious personal attacks which reveals his true character. GNA’s DNA has been modi-fied,” he said.
Azad’s scathing criticism of Rahul Gandhi and public resignation from Congress has triggered a massive backlash from party loyalists, with many questioning his intent.
Sources close to Azad have said he plans to start a new political party.
Azad, who was part of the G-23 dissident group calling for a change in party leadership and organisation, quit the party today ripping into Rahul for “childish behaviour”, “glaring immaturity” and for letting a “coterie of inexperienced sycophants” run the party, reads the report by NDTV.
