New Delhi, Aug 24: Congress politician Jaiveer Shergill made the announcement on Wednesday that he was leaving his position as the party’s national spokesperson. Shergill wrote in his letter of resignation to Sonia Gandhi, the party’s acting president, that “decision-making is no longer for interests of public and country.”
“It pains me to say that decision-making is no longer for interests of public & country,rather it’s influenced by the self-serving interests of individuals indulging in sycophancy & consistently ignoring on-ground reality”, wrote Shergill in his resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi.
“In the past 8 yrs, I’ve not taken anything from Congress but only poured into the party. Today when I’m being pushed to bow down before people because they’re close to the top leadership; this isn’t acceptable to me,” said Jaiveer Shergill after resigning from all posts in Congress.
“The decision-making of the Congress party is not in sync with the ground reality anymore. I’ve been seeking time from Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi & Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for more than a year, but we are not welcomed in the office,” he added.

The Congress is debating a candidate to assume the role of party leader in the meantime. Earlier, Anand Sharma, former Union minister and senior member of the Congress, said on Sunday that has resigned as chief of the ‘steering committee’ of the party’s Himachal Pradesh unit, days after veteran Ghulam Nabi Azad led a similar resignation in Jammu and Kashmir.
