Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad quit the Congress party on Friday and resigned from all his posts. In a five-page letter addressed to party president Sonia Gandhi, Azad said the situation in the Congress had reached a "point of no return".
“The entire organizational selection process is a farce and a sham. Elections have not been held anywhere in the country at any organizational level. AICC's elected lieutenants were forced to sign the list prepared by the group holding the AICC sitting at 24 Akbar Road,” Azad said.
He said that following Rahul Gandhi's entry into politics, especially after he was appointed as the party's vice-president in 2013, he "broke the whole consultative system earlier".
All the senior and experienced leaders were pushed aside and a new batch of inexperienced classmates started handling the affairs of the party,” he said.
