Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi quits party

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi quit the party last night, a day after publicly expressing her resentment in tweets.  She was upset with her party bosses for taking back workers who had been thrown out for misbehaving with her. “Lumpen goons” get preference in the Congress over those who had “given their sweat and blood”, she wrote in her tweet.

“Deeply saddened that lumpen goons get preference in @incindia over those who have given their sweat and blood. Having faced brickbats and abuse across board for the party but yet those who threatened me within the party getting away with not even a rap on their knuckles is unfortunate,” she tweeted on Wednesday.

In September, local Congress leaders had allegedly misbehaved with Priyanka Chaturvedi while she was attending a press conference on the Rafale deal at Mathura. The Congress had initially removed them but recently, because of the elections and the need for local support, they were reportedly taken back. One of the workers was reportedly even named as a candidate.
