In his resignation letter he declared, “Unfortunately, the situation in the Congress party has reached an impasse of irreparable damage that “proxies are being pushed up to assume the leadership of the party.This plan is likely to fail as the Congress party has been thoroughly devastated that it is irreparable.The “chosen one” is just a puppet hanging on string.”
He said that at the national level, the Congress has given up the political space that is available to the BJP and state-level spaces for regional parties.

He stated that the only mistake committed by the 23 leaders who wrote that letter of worry for the party was that they identified the causes of the shortcomings in the party and suggested remedies for them.
