The exodus of star leaders and key leaders parting with the Congress party is not coming to a halt at all, with a general complaint of indifference and lack of respectful treatment by the top brass of the party being cited as the leading reasons.
Radhika Khera, who is the National Media Coordinator of the AICC Communications Department, is the latest high-profile leader to quit the party. In a letter addressed to party President Mallikarjun Kharge, she tendered her resignation from all posts and gave up her primary membership of the party.
According to Khera, the party's disapproval of leaders attending the Ram Mandir's Pran Pratistha ceremony was a big factor in her resignation. She also narrated her hardships after attending the event.
"From my days in NSUI till now, I have given 22 years of my life to serving the party wholeheartedly. But in the recent past, I was subjected to adverse treatment. My only crime was that I could not stop myself from visiting the Ram Temple," she wrote to Kharge.
She further narrated how she was slighted at the party office in Chhattisgarh because of her love for Lord Ram.
"Therefore, I have been compelled to resign from all posts and relinquish my primary membership of the party," she wrote in her resignation letter to Kharge.
