New Delhi [India], August 30 (ANI): As many as three Congress leaders who are also a part of G23 have reached the residence of former party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad in the national capital.
The leaders are ex-Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan, ex-Haryana CM Bhupinder Hooda and Anand Sharma.
Azad on Friday resigned from all posts of the party, citing the “immaturity” of Rahul Gandhi, whom he blamed for “demolishing the consultative mechanism” in the party.
The ‘G23’ leaders included Shashi Tharoor, Azad (former leader), Mani Shankar Aiyar, Manish Tiwari and others who have been vocal about organisational changes in the Congress party.
Earlier in the day, as many as 64 senior Congress leaders, including former Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, resigned from the party in support of veteran leader Ghulam Nabi Azad.
According to sources, the leaders submitted their resignations to Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi. On Saturday, several political leaders from Jammu and Kashmir met veteran leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is planning to launch a new national party, a day after tendering resignations from all posts of Congress.
