Blow for Congress as Rahul Gandhi’s close aide quits party in Gujarat

Jung Bahadur Singh had resigned as Congress General Secretary only three days ago soon after Rahul Gandhi's visit to his parliamentary constituency. About half a dozen pradhans, several panchayat members and Congress workers also took the membership of the BJP along with the rebel Congress leader.

The Union Minister and party Lok Sabha candidate in 2014 from Amethi, Smriti Irani visited Singh's residence and congratulated him. "His own trusted leaders are deserting Rahul Gandhi in his parliamentary constituency. This shows that party men are not happy with his style of development and Congress policies," she said.

Meanwhile, massive arrangements have been made by the BJP to make party President Amit Shah's rally a big success at Gauriganj in Congress stronghold.
