Arjun Modhwadia Resigns from Congress
Arjun Modhwadia, the former state president of the Gujarat Congress, announced his resignation from the party on Monday, sparking speculation about a growing divide within the organization. In his letter addressed to party chief Mallikarjun Kharge, the MLA expressed his reasons for stepping down.
Modhwadia emphasized the significance of Lord Ram to Hindus, describing him not only as revered but also as the embodiment of India’s faith.
“Prabhu Ram is not just Pujaniya to Hindus, but he is the Aastha of Bharat,” he said in the letter.

He criticized the party’s decision to decline an invitation to witness the Pran Pratishtha Mahotsav, stating that it had disregarded the sentiments of the Indian people. He particularly condemned Rahul Gandhi’s actions in Assam, which he believed further provoked the party’s members and citizens.
He added, “To further distract and humiliate this pious occasion, Rahul Gandhi attempted to create a ruckus in Assam which further angered our party cadres and citizens of Bharat.”
His resignation stemmed from his opposition to the party’s choice in January to abstain from attending the Pran Pratishta ceremony in Ayodhya. Modhwadia cited numerous encounters with individuals who felt offended by the Congress’s stance, viewing it as an insult to Lord Ram.
Expressing his disappointment in his inability to contribute effectively to his district, Porbandar, and the state of Gujarat in recent years, Modhwadia stated that it was with a heavy heart that he resigned from all positions within the Congress. He expressed gratitude towards the party leadership and its members for their support throughout his four-decade-long association with the organization.
