In what could be called a major setback for the opposition party Congress, its veteran leader Gulam Nabi Azad has quit the party and from all the party posts including the party’s primary membership. A few days ago, Azad stepped down as chairman of the campaign committee in Jammu and Kashmir.

It is a huge jolt for the Congress with the party already suffering exits from a few youth leaders. Azad is reportedly not happy with the way the party is going in comparison to the party’s values. In his resignation letter to Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi, Azad mentioned that Indian National Congress has “lost the will and ability under the tutelage of the coterie that runs All India Congress Committee (AICC)”

He further added, “It is therefore with great regret and an extremely leaden heart that I have decided to sever my half a century old association with Indian National Congress.”
