General Secretary of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee Kamrul Islam Choudhury resigns from party

In a major blow to Congress, General Secretary of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee, Kamrul Islam Choudhury has resigned from the party citing directionless and confused leadership as reason.

Mr Choudhury tendered his resignation from the primary membership of the Congress yesterday and also took to Twitter to post his resignation letter online. 

In his letter addressed to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Mr Choudhury also expressed displeasure over cross-voting by Congress MLAs during Presidential elections and party's inability to deal with the



situation.

This has demoralized thousands of grassroot workers like him who worked day and night for the welfare of the party, he said.

The departure of the General Secretary of the APCC comes days after senior Congressman Ghulam Nabi Azad quit the party and ended his five-decade-long affiliation with the party. 

In his five-page resignation letter, Ghulam Nabi Azad opined that the entire consultative mechanism was demolished by Rahul Gandhi when he took over as Congress vice-president in 2013.
