Major jolt to Congress after Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Sinh quits

In a jolt to the Congress that is facing a leadership crisis, its Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Sinh has quit the party.

A member of the Upper House from Assam, Sinh is set to join the ruling BJP, helping the saffron party grow through aggressive acquisition. Sinh, who hails from Amethi royal family, had in the 1998 won the Amethi Lok Sabha election on a BJP ticket, but could not repeat his victory in 1999.

Announcing his decision to join the BJP, Sinh said there is a complete lack of communication in the Congress and the leadership is completely missing.
