Chennai : C R Kesavan, Congress leader and the great-grandson of the country’s first Indian Governor-General C Rajagopalachari, announced his resignation from the party on Thursday morning (February 23). He shared his resignation letter addressed to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on social media. In it, he listed the reasons for his departure from the party. He said that he doesn’t identify with the party anymore which is why he “declined an organisational responsibility at the national level and also refrained from participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.” He wrote, “I am truly sad to say that for a while now, I have not seen any vestiges of the values that made me work for the party with dedication for over two decades. I can no longer in good conscience say that I concur with what the party symbolises, stands for, nor seeks to propagate. This is why I had recently declined an organisational responsibility at the national level and also refrained from participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.”
