Former Punjab Congress official Sunil Jakhar – who announced his resignation from the party on Saturday on Facebook Live – has kept a few words in praise of senior leader Rahul Gandhi, calling him a ‘good man’. Jakhar – who was ousted last month for “anti-group activities” – called on Gandhi to regain control and warned him to ‘stay away from sycophants’. “Good luck and goodbye, Congress …” said Jakhar as he finished his barking. Jakhar’s announcement comes as Congress enters the second day of its ChintanShivir meeting in Rajasthan – a three-day meeting of senior leaders to review the party’s negative results in the five-state elections held in February-March and plan a pre-election recovery process. 2024 votes for Lok Sabha.
His remarks today emphasized how much work Congress should do to better organize its house and emerge as the main BJP candidate – in the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh elections later this year and next year’s general elections. In his Facebook Live book, the 68-year-old boy kidnapped congressional leaders ‘sitting in Delhi (already destroyed) party in Punjab’. That swipe was the party’s defeat to the AamAadmi Party in the February election; Congress was ousted from power in Punjab (one of the few provinces that directly ruled us) after a series of altercations that began with then-prime minister Amarinder Singh and former prime minister Navjot Sidhu sparring – publicly, tragically – and was overthrown by swiping. and CM CharanjitChanni.
Jakhar also accused Rajya Sabha MP AmbikaSoni and his comments about the ‘consequences of having a Hindu prime minister in Punjab’ for the party’s poor visibility in the state elections. Soni, in September, rejected Amarinder Singh’s request for a replacement, saying “… in Punjab there must be a Sikh face”.That was more than a guess that Jakhar was not considered prime minister because he was Hindu; he then accused the ‘senior advisers sitting in Delhi’.EarlierJakhar also accused Channi of Congress’ misconduct – a comment that invited the show’s announcement to the party. He did not respond to the notice, which also referred to the so-called ‘insulting’ words against Channi.Jakhar called Channi ‘guilty of his greed to bring down the party’.The AAP swept the vote and won 92 of the 117 seats, pushing Congress to reach the second seat with only 18 seats.At the time, while speaking on Facebook, Jakhar also criticized Harish Chaudhary, former provincial commissioner Harish Rawat and Tariq Anwar.
