Gourav Vallabh, the fiery Congress spokesperson who quit the grand old party on Thursday, has joined the BJP ahead of Lok Sabha elections.
Vallabh, known for articulating the party’s positions on finance and economy-related matters during television discussions, tendered his resignation in a letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, calling the grand old party “directionless”.
In his letter, Vallabh expressed his discomfort at raising “anti-Sanatan” slogans or abusing wealth creators of the country.
“I am not able to feel comfortable with the directionless way in which the Congress Party is moving forward today. I can neither raise anti-Sanatan slogans nor abuse the wealth creators of the country in the morning and evening. That is why I I am resigning from all posts and primary membership of Congress Party,” he wrote on social media platform X.
He added: “I am a professor of finance. After joining the Congress Party, I was appointed as the national spokesperson. I passionately presented the party’s stance on various issues to the people of our country. However, in recent days, I have grown increasingly uncomfortable with the party’s position.”
