Kapil Sibal, Manish Tewari express shock and accuse Congress party of Sushmita Dev’s exit

[ad_1]

Top Congress leader Kapil Sibal wrote an emotional tweet on Monday accusing party leaders of continuing with “Eyes Wide Shut” as young leaders quit the party. The leader’s statement came after Sushmita Dev, a close ally of Rahul Gandhi, tendered his resignation. In a tweet, Kapil Sibal wrote that top party leaders are putting all their efforts to strengthen the party.

Calling the top leaders old-timers, Sibal alleged that they were blamed for their efforts to strengthen Congress.

Dev Sushmita

Resigns from his status as a main member of our Party

As the young leaders leave, we elders are blamed for our efforts to strengthen it.

The party continues with:

Eyes wide closed

Kapil Sibal (@KapilSibal) August 16, 2021 Manish Tewari demands answers from Sushmita Dev

“Your former colleagues and friends, especially the person who was national president of @nsui when you contested your first @DUSUofficial election in 1991, deserve a better explanation than this terse letter?” “

With several questions including “is this true?” Congress leader Manish Tewari asked Sushmita Dev to answer why she quit the party. Even after an official statement from the former top leader, Tiwari raised the question of whether this was true.

Sushmita Dev leaves Congress

Suddenly on Monday morning, Dev’s Twitter account reflected “the former Indian National Congressman,” which sparked speculation about his end in the party. She later issued an official statement and thanked all leaders for the opportunity, asking for their blessings as she begins a “new chapter in public service.” Apparently, the big shake up in Assam Congress came as Dev felt unhappy with the party’s performance in the Assam polls. Even after forming a broad alliance with AIUDF, BPF, CPI, CPI (M), Bodoland Democratic Front (BDF) and Anchalik Gana Morcha (AGM) to stop the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the BJP for House Assam of 126 members, the Congress failed to achieve victory in the Assam assembly elections.

Previous speculation about Sushmita Dev’s release

In March, ahead of the election, speculation had arisen that Dev had sent her resignation to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi. Refusing the departure of Sushmita Dev, Congressman Pradyut Bordoloi said: “She is really with us. She is a very indispensable part of Congress. She is a very respected leader of our party.” Additionally, the party’s media department also added that Dev did not quit the party. Dev was reportedly unhappy with the seat-sharing formula with the AIUDF, sources say.
