Senior Congress leader Pandit Vinod Mishra quits party, blames Priyanka Gandhi

Senior Uttar Pradesh Congress representative and convenor of the Brahmin Mahasabha, Pandit Vinod Mishra, resigned from the party on Friday. Mishra is the former Secretary General of the UP Congress, who was also in charge of the Lucknow district during the Raj Babbar administration.

In a tweet, Mishra blamed Party Secretary General Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for his resignation. He said that the Gandhi family used the party to save their skin from the CBI and ED, and thereby humiliated veteran leaders and pressured them to resign.

“The UP Congress has already been handed over to Leftist leaders and now they are managing everything which is unfortunate for the century-old party which was a symbol of the freedom movement of the country,” he said.
