Significantly, the setback to the grand old party came just a day after Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay yatra crossed over into Gujarat after a brief stopover in Madhya Pradesh.
Reacting to the Congress’s latest big-name exit ahead of the general elections, which are likely to be held sometime between April and May, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan blamed it on the ‘lack of leadership’ in the grand old party.

All good leaders in Congress are fed up with the party’s rudderless and directionless state. The Congress appears to be on the verge of extinction.”
