Congress Leader Calls Sushmita Dev’s Resignation Most Unfortunate, Demands Explanation

Mumbai: Senior Congress leader Manish Tewari on Monday termed the resignation of former Congress MP Sushmita Dev from the party as “most unfortunate” and demanded a “better” explanation in view of her long association with the party and party colleagues.

“If this is true it is most unfortunate. Why @sushmitadevinc ? Your erstwhile colleagues & friends especially the person who was National President of @nsui when you contested your first @DUSUofficial elections back in 1991 deserve a better explanation than this laconic letter?” Tewari tweeted.

After Dev submitted his resignation in an open letter to party interim president Sonia Gandhi on Sunday, Congress leader Kapil Sibal pointed to a conflict within the party, saying that “the party moves ahead blindly.”

“Sushmita Dev resigns from the primary membership of our Party. While young leaders leave we ‘oldies’ are blamed for our efforts to strengthen it. The Party moves on with: Eyes Wide Shut,” he tweeted.
