Former MP Anand Prakash Gautam, argues neglect of worker, has resigned in a setback to the party ahead of the state polls. His resignation comes amid the high-profile exit of RPN Singh from the party.
Announcing his decision at a press conference, Mr Gautam alleged that due to the money and muscle power of prominent leaders in the district, hardworking grass-root workers are being neglected.
Anand Gautam was a two-term member of the Rajya Sabha.
“Such leaders are neglecting grass-root workers. Disappointed over this, I am resigning from the primary membership of the party,” he said.
Mr Gautam said that he had tried to meet Priyanka Gandhi Vadra several times and talk to her on phone but the people around her never let him meet her.
When asked if his exit is linked to his son Jayant Gautam’s aspiration to contest from the Haidergarh seat, the former MP said there is no such issue.
