Not surprised by the resignation of Mr. Raj Gopal Reddy from the party, Congress has termed the resignation a result of the party’s decision to suspend him as the issue was unnecessarily being stretched damaging party interests.
Congress leadership had made up its mind to suspend him as the delay was creating a dilemma among the cadre and sending wrong signals. Senior leaders who met in New Delhi on Monday night discussed the developments and finally decided to go ahead with suspension as enough time was given to him to think over his outbursts against the party and his praise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
