Gandhinagar: The main opposition Congress party’s national spokesperson Rohan Gupta has resigned from the party.

He made this announcement on micro-blogging site X (formerly Twitter).

He stated in a tweet:- ‘Amidst the personal crisis , I spent last 3 days with my father while he is battling serious health conditions which has really helped me understand his perspective. He narrated the incidences of betrayal and sabotage for last 40 years and how the leaders got away in spite of their ill doings. The wounds of those incidences have still not healed which I could see in his tears.

He doesn’t want me to pay the same price as the whole family has seen the mental trauma I have gone through in last two years which was caused by the senior leader connected with Communication Department. My father could visualise the same thing happening to me which I could not. He tolerated the same and ended up spoiling his health and underwent bypass surgery which he never wanted me to.

We both are fighters and have fought various battles for the party for the last 40 years in our respective roles successfully. I am not afraid of anything. But when there is systematic conspiracy to betray me, I need to raise my voice. My humbleness should not be considered as my weakness. I have learnt my lessons hard way.

I took most difficult decision of my life of withdrawing my candidature. Now I am taking another most difficult decision of leaving the party after serving it for last 15 years because of constant humiliation and character assassination by the leader connected with Communication department.

The person who has humiliated me for last two years, the person who has not budged from doing it in last three days , I am sure that he will not refrain from doing it in future and nobody will be able stop him. But Now I am not ready to take any more assault on my self esteem.

With broken heart I have taken decision of resigning which is very difficult but necessary to protect my self respect. Now my moral doesn’t permit me to continue in the party.

The same leader has damaged party also with his arrogant and rude behaviour.

Due to his extreme leftist mindset he ensured party’s silence on insult of Sanatan Dharma which hurt me personally and I was forcefully stopped from opposition insult of sanatan dharma on national TV. This has done serious damage to party image and to the morale of the party’s leaders.

The leadership should not ignore such activities by this kind of leaders which leaves imprints of insult on the souls of honest workers and leaders and compels them to leave party.

Some might to see conspiracy here but people close me will understand my viewpoint.’
