'Coterie of Inexperienced Sychophants': Azad Quits Cong With 'Immature, Childish' Rahul Gandhi Barb

News 18  

In probably one of the biggest blows to the Congress ahead of the 2024 elections, veteran leader and former Union minister Ghulam Nabi Azad quit the party on Friday, calling out ex-party chief Rahul Gandhi for “immaturity” and “demolishing the consultative mechanism” in the party. In a scathing letter, Azad — a member of the G-23 dissidents group who had written to Sonia Gandhi in 2020 calling for a complete overhaul of the organisation and a full-time and visible leadership — said Sonia Gandhi was just a nominal figurehead while all important decisions were taken by Rahul Gandhi “or rather worse his security guards and PAs”. Accusing Rahul Gandhi of “demolishing the entire consultative mechanism in the party which existed pre-2013, all senior and experienced leaders were side-lined, new coterie of inexperienced sycophants started running the party”. The attack comes just a day after it was revealed that the elections to the post of Congress chief would be postponed yet again since the Congress top brass wanted to concentrate on the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ as well as give Rahul Gandhi one last chance to pick up the reins of the party.
