													In his letter to Sonia, Azad said Rahul had “demolished” the “entire consultative mechanism” in the party which had helped Sonia during her tenure as President and that he had sidelined all “senior and experienced” leaders and let a “new coterie” of “inexperienced sycophants” run the party.

From Sharad Pawar to Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Congress has seen the exit of many a veteran and leader since 1998 when the Gandhi family took control of the party. But what sets apart Azad’s resignation is that his is the first time that a senior leader has put, on record, such a strong and pointed critique of Rahul Gandhi in a letter to Sonia Gandhi.

Calling Rahul “a non-serious individual,” whom the leadership tried to “foist” upon the party, Azad points to his “immaturity” and “childish behaviour” in the context of his 2013 trashing of the ordinance brought by the Manmohan Singh government to negate a Supreme Court order on disqualifying convicted MPs and MLAs. (Rahul had called the ordinance a “complete nonsense” which should be “torn up and thrown out.”)

That “one single action more than anything else contributed significantly to the defeat of the UPA government in 2014,” Azad wrote, because it “completely subverted the authority of the Prime Minister and the Government of India.”

In his letter to Sonia, who is in the US with Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for a medical check-up, Azad said Rahul had “demolished” the “entire consultative mechanism” in the party which had helped Sonia during her tenure as President and that he had sidelined all “senior and experienced” leaders and let a “new coterie” of “inexperienced sycophants” run the party.

Referring to the Congress’s back-to-back defeats in the Lok  Sabha elections in 2014 and 2019 and the string of losses in Assembly elections since then, he said “since the 2019 elections the situation in the party has only worsened.”
