Former Law Minister Ashwani Kumar, who resigned from the Congress on February 15 in the midst of the election cycle, said the grand old party had lost touch with the ground reality and no longer reflected the national mood.
In a no-holds-barred interview to PTI after quitting the Congress, the 69-year-old former Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab said he had reached his limits of perseverance in the party, which, he said, lacked inspirational leadership and is facing an existential challenge.
He also accused the party of failing to reinvent itself despite its decline.
