In  a big set- back to the Congress , one of its most prominent spokespersons, Priyanka Chaturvedi has quit the party.
It comes a day after publicly expressing her resentment in tweets. She was upset with her party bosses for taking back workers who had been thrown out for misbehaving with her. “Lumpen goons” get preference in the Congress over those who had “given their sweat and blood”, she wrote in her tweet.

“Deeply saddened that lumpen goons get preference in @incindia over those who have given their sweat and blood. Having faced brickbats and abuse across board for the party but yet those who threatened me within the party getting away with not even a rap on their knuckles is unfortunate,” she tweeted .

 

In September, local Congress leaders had allegedly misbehaved with Priyanka Chaturvedi while she was attending a press conference on the Rafale deal at Mathura. The Congress had initially removed them but recently, because of the elections and the need for local support, they were reportedly taken back. One of the workers was reportedly even named as a candidate.

After tendering her resignation as the Congress spokesperson, Priyanka Chaturvedi in a tweet thanks the country for their support, while attaching her official resignation letter to party chief Rahul Gandhi. “I consider myself blessed with this immense outpouring of support. Thank you to all who have been a part of this journey,” she says.

I am absolutely overwhelmed and grateful with the love and support I have got across board from the nation in the past 3 days.
