Khaleque claimed in his letter of resignation that the Congress party had adopted an odd strategy in which problems about people had been given less priority.
Digital Desk: Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, MP Abdul Khaleque of Barpeta, Assam, resigned from the party's primary membership on Friday, striking another major blow to the Congress.
Khaleque submitted his resignation to Mallikarjun Kharge, the President of the Indian National Congress (INC).
Khaleque claimed in his letter of resignation that the Congress party had adopted an odd strategy in which problems about people had been given less priority. Additionally, he said that the state president of the party and the AICC general secretary were damaging the party's chances in Assam with their attitude and methods.
However, the Assam MP expressed gratitude to the party leaders for entrusting him with authority over both Assam and other states. He also expressed his appreciation to Sonia Gandhi for her guidance and assistance.
He wrote, "However, off late, the party in Assam has taken a strange route where people-centric issues have taken a back seat. To safeguard democracy the people must have a keen sense of independence, self-respect and oneness. But unfortunately, over a period of time, I feel that the attitude and approach taken by the party's state President and AICC General Secretary in-charge has ruined the prospect of the party in Assam."
"It has been an honour for me to serve the Congress Party, whose values and ideals have served as the lifeblood of our beautiful nation. I owe infinite gratitude and love to the people of my constituencies, the party and the party workers who stood by me," he added.
The MP went on to say that, considering the circumstances, it was time for him to leave the party.
"Therefore, I am tendering my resignation from primary membership of Indian National Congress with immediate effect," he wrote in his resignation letter.
