Just as Priyanka Chaturvedi made an exit from Congress over reinstatement of party workers who had misbehaved with her, the grand-old party conceded that it was a reflection on the leadership.
The former AICC spokesperson quit the Congress party late last night and joine dthe Shiv Sena in presence of its Uddhav Thackeray in Matoshree.
"Every time a party member leaves, it's a matter of pain for us. Ppl look for career progression. We wish all of them well, including Priyanka Chaturvedi," Randeep Singh Surjewala said at a press conference today.
"I must frankly and on record concede, yes, it's a reflection on my leadership," he further added.
Priyanka Chaturvedi called out the "women empowerment" sham in the party, saying the Congress let goons get away who "misbehaved" with her. She added she wanted to work for the development of Maharashtra and the women of the country.
Earlier in the day, Priyanka Chaturvedi removed all references to the Congress party from her Twitter bio. It is also reported that she did not wait for Congress chief Rahul Gandhi's acceptance of her resignation and went to Matoshree to join the Shiv Sena.
