Can’t raise anti-Sanatana slogans: Gourav Vallabh
Taking to X, the leader posted his two-page resignation letter. He sent his resignation letter to party President Mallikarjun Kharge.
Gourav Vallabh said, “I do not feel comfortable with the directionless way in which the Congress party is moving forward.”
“I can neither raise anti-Sanatana slogans nor abuse the wealth creators of the country. I am resigning from all posts and primary membership of the Congress party,” he added.
In his resignation letter, the leader alleged that the Congress party is deviating from its basic principles
Vallabh said, “These days the party is moving in the wrong direction. On one hand, we talk about the caste-based census. On the other hand, the party seems to oppose the entire Hindu society.”
“This style of working gives a misleading message to the public that the party is a supporter of a particular religion only. This is against the basic principles of Congress,” he added.
He further accused the Congress’s stand on economic matters, which has always been to humiliate and abuse the wealth creators of the country.
“Today we have turned against those economic liberalisation, privatization, and globalization policies for which the world has given us full credit for implementing in the country. Is it wrong to earn money by doing business in our country?” he added.
