Jaiveer Shergill dumps Congress, says sycophants dominate in party
Jaiveer Shergill, in his letter to the party's interim president, Sonia Gandhi, said:"Congress' decision-making is influenced by 'self-serving interests.' The primary reason is that the ideology and vision of the current decision-makers of the Indian National Congress are no longer in sync with the aspirations of the youth and modern India."
FollowCongress leader Jaiveer Shergill, on Wednesday, resigned as the party's national spokesperson. Shergill, in his resignation, stated that the vision of Congress' decision-makers no longer matched the aspirations of the youth.
Congress' decision-making is influenced by 'self-serving interests,' according to Shergill's resignation letter to the party's interim president, Sonia Gandhi.
As per reports, Shergill wrote, "The primary reason is that the current decision-makers of the Indian National Congress' ideology and vision are no longer in sync with the aspirations of the youth and modern India."
Elaborating on the reasons why he quit the party, Shergill said the party was not taking decisions in the public interest, and that party was dominated by those ignoring ground realities and indulging in sycophancy.
He said, "It pains me to say that decisions are no longer made in the public and national interest. It is influenced instead by the self-serving interests of individuals who indulge in sycophancy while consistently ignoring ground reality. I cannot accept this morally or continue to work with."
The voices of those who want to serve the people and those who are capable are not heard, he said, adding that the coterie and sycophancy in the Indian National Congress were damaging the party like termites. Shergill refused to divulge his future course of action.
According to reports, Shergill had been barred from holding press conferences for several months. Shergill, a lawyer by profession and one of the most prominent young leaders in Congress, hails from Punjab. His resignation comes when several young leaders in Congress have left the party. Jitin Prasada and Jyotiraditya Scindia are two prominent Congress members who have left the party.
