When SM Krishna abandoned Congress after 46 years, said party had no future

India Today  

At 84, veteran Congressman SM Krishna faced a day unlike any other. SM Krishna's move was driven by a combination of factors, including the future of the party drifting and him being "sidelined" due to his age. "I have resigned from Congress to protect my self-respect and dignity after serving it for 46 years, as the high command has sidelined me because of my age," an emotional 84-year-old Krishna told reporters. WHY SM KRISHNA LEFT CONGRESS, SAID PARTY HAD NO FUTURE A day after SM Krishna resigned from the Congress, he lashed out at the party saying it didn't need mass leaders, but wanted only managers. The seeds of Krishna's departure from the Congress were sown in 2012 when he was forced to resign as the External Affairs Minister in Manmohan Singh's UPA II Cabinet.
