Former Union Minister and ex-MP from Mumbai South Milind Deora's resignation from the Congress on January 14 is the latest addition to a list of young leaders who have left it to begin new innings in other parties, predominantly the BJP.
The resignation also signals a continuing saga of unaddressed concerns of young leaders, once considered close to former Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
The latest exit also highlights the disconnect and inaccessibility of the Gandhi family with the lower rung of party leadership, amid dwindling fortunes of the grand old party, which the young leaders are unable to accept.
