Ghulam Nabi Azad quits Congress saying Rahul Gandhi destroyed party’s consultative mechanism

Rahul Gandhi has demolished all the consultative mechanism in the Congress and the “remote control” culture that damaged the UPA was brought into the party, said Congress veteran Ghulam Nabi Azad in his resignation letter on Friday that ended his nearly 50-year-old association with the party.

Launching a scathing attack against Mr. Gandhi, he said the Congress has been “comprehensively destroyed and asserted that the party has reached this state because it wanted to “foist a non-serious individual on the party for the past eight years”.

In his resignation letter sent to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Azad alleged that she was merely “a figurehead and all decisions were taken by Rahul Gandhi or his personal assistant and security guards”.
