New Delhi: C R Kesavan, Congress chief and the nice-grandson of the nation’s first Indian Governor-General C Rajagopalachari, introduced his resignation from the celebration on Thursday morning (February 23). He shared his resignation letter addressed to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on social media. In it, he listed the explanations for his departure from the celebration. He stated that he does not establish with the celebration anymore which is why he “declined an organisational responsibility at the national level and also refrained from participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.”
He wrote, “I am truly sad to say that for a while now, I have not seen any vestiges of the values that made me work for the party with dedication for over two decades. I can no longer in good conscience say that I concur with what the party symbolises, stands for, nor seeks to propagate. This is why I had recently declined an organisational responsibility at the national level and also refrained from participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.”

Bidding adieu to the grand previous celebration, he stated, “It is time for me to chart a new path and therefore I resign from the primary membership of the Congress party with immediate effect. There will be speculation of me going to another party but to set the record straight, I have not spoken to anybody and honestly do not know what will unfold next.”
“I earnestly thank the Party and Smt. Sonia Gandhi ji for all the responsibilities entrusted to me over the years in Government and the organization,” Kesavan had written within the letter.
