Questions raised on Rahul Gandhi, Hardik Patel said - Top leaders are only interested in chicken sandwich

New Delhi: Amidst all the speculations and apprehensions, Hardik Patel finally left the Congress (Hardik Patel Resign from Congress). But by the time he spoke against the party leadership in such a way that it started being discussed. In the year 2018, Alpesh Thakor, Jignesh Mevani and Hardik Patel were members of Rahul Gandhi's youth group. But till now two youth leaders have left this group. Hardik Patel also said goodbye to Congress.

Angered by his neglect in the party, Hardik Patel said that chicken sandwiches matter more to Delhi leaders than listening to him. He was pointing towards Rahul Gandhi. Earlier, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had also accused Rahul Gandhi of giving more importance to his pet dog Pidi than listening to him. He had alleged that he was talking to Rahul Gandhi, but instead of listening to him, Rahul was feeding biscuits to the dog.

What do all these leaders who have left the Congress have in common? Most of these leaders joined BJP. Apart from this, another similarity is that all these leaders were close to Rahul Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi chose him. Initially, all these leaders worked side by side with Rahul Gandhi with full enthusiasm, but gradually the situation changed and things started going wrong.

One such leader who was once close to Rahul Gandhi said, "The group of people close to him is insecure. They did not like the fact that we should have direct access to Rahul Gandhi and they could bypass us and meet him. Eventually Rahul Gandhi also starts believing in the same people, for this I will blame Rahul.

The biggest example of this is Jyotiraditya Scindia, who was once very close to Rahul Gandhi. But when the Congress came to power in Madhya Pradesh, it was clear that in the presence of Digvijaya Singh and Kamal Nath, their path would not be so easy.

Digvijay Singh had no attachment to Scindia. Scindia wanted a place for his supporters in the state cabinet. But no one listened to him and eventually he resigned from the party.

Same is the story of RPN Singh and Jitin Prasad, who once had no problem in reaching Rahul Gandhi. But gradually the situation started changing.

'Congress leadership suffers from two big problems'

Going by the experience of all these leaders, it seems that the Congress leadership suffers from two problems - first, Gandhi's close group will not allow anyone to come close to him so that he can be sidelined. Also, whoever wants to bring about change, the top leadership of the Congress does not have much faith in him.

Most of the leaders told News18.com, “We are leaders, we want us to be heard, get posts in the party. But how long should we go back and forth with top leaders for this?

However, leaders from every political party resign and this is not a new thing. But often in the Congress, some leaders leave the party, the top leadership, especially the Gandhi family, are accused that dog pie and chicken sandwich are more important to them than listening to us.
