Ruchi holds Venugopal responsible
Gupta earllier held former General Secretary late KC Venugopal responsible for her resignation. As per reports, she blamed Venugopal for continuous delays in organizational changes.
"I am writing to you to announce that I have resigned. As you know, important organizational changes have remained pending for very long: the national committee took 1 year 3 months; state president orders have remained pending for months. Many other state units are waiting for reorganization to make space for new activists. These continuing delays by the GS(O) are damaging the organization but in the present circumstances, it is not possible to escalate repeatedly to Congress President. The situation has thus become untenable,” she wrote in her resignation message."
