The Congress party delivered a harsh condemnation in reaction to former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan`s decision to resign from the party amid suspicions that he will merge with the BJP. In a setback to the Congress just before the Lok Sabha elections, Chavan resigned as a primary member of the party and stepped down as an MLA.
Without specifically addressing Chavan, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh expressed his unhappiness with the departure of persons who had benefited from the party`s assistance. Ramesh said that some people prioritise their interests before ideological commitment and party loyalty.
In a social media post, Ramesh remarked when friends and colleagues leave a political party, it is always a matter of anguish. He further commented on the allure of "THAT Washing Machine," alluding to the perceived attraction of switching political allegiances. Ramesh was blunt in his criticism, labelling individuals who leave as "betrayers" who fail to see the chances their departure presents for others whose growth may have been hampered by their presence.
