Following his departure from the party on Friday, Azad was chastised by the Congress for tying his resignation to the end of his Rajya Sabha tenure. The party further claimed that his DNA was "Modi-fied."
“Modi is an excuse, they have had an issue with me since the G23 letter was written. They never wanted anyone to write to them, question them... Several (Congress) meetings happened, but not even a single suggestion was taken,” he stated, PTI reported.
Azad previously resigned from all party positions, blaming Rahul Gandhi's "immaturity" for "demolishing the consultative system" in the party.
Azad alleged in a five-page letter to party interim president Sonia Gandhi that the party is managed by a coterie and that all critical decisions are made by "Shri Rahul Gandhi or, worse, his security guards and PAs."
In his resignation letter, Azad wrote: "Since the 2019 elections the situation in the party has only worsened. After Rahul Gandhi stepped down in a 'huff' and not before insulting all the senior Party functionaries who have given their lives to the party in a meeting of the extended Working Committee, you took over as interim President. A position that you have continue to hold even today for the past three years."
Meanwhile, numerous Jammu and Kashmir political figures met with senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday, who is trying to create a new national party.
