NEW DELHI: Former Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar , who resigned from the primary membership of the Congress on Saturday, has alleged that conspiracies are being hatched to remove young leaders who have been groomed by former party president Rahul Gandhi ."In the last few years, numerous conspiracies are being hatched to eliminate those young leaders who have been groomed by Shri Rahul Gandhi in last one and a half decade. Unfortunately most victims of this conspiracy may not have the courage to stand up, but I think it is my moral and political duty to resist, oppose and expose this onslaught," Ashok Tanwar wrote in his resignation letter that he shared on Twitter.Claiming that Haryana has been the epitome of this conspiracy to destroy the Congress nurtured by the top leadership, Ashok Tanwar says: "The state of affairs in the Congress is so dire that decision makers at AICC can't win an election themselves, while the soldiers on ground who stay in touch with the masses are neglected."Accusing senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad of playing a "dirty game", he says "He has sold out his responsibility of being the High Command's eyes and ears in Haryana by submitting entirely to the might of his friends."Tanwar accused the party of drifting away from its basic principle and ideology and said: "Now the Congress is the anti-thesis of democracy, plagued by feudal attitudes and medieval conspiracies ... Congress visibly have drifted away from its basic principles and ideology. My experience of last few years has been that internal democracy in the party is being killed by selfish interests of a few lobbies."Tanwar has revolted against the party leadership alleging irregularities and corruption in ticket distribution for October 21 Haryana assembly polls and had openly protested outside the Congress chief's 10 Janpath residence here on Wednesday.Earlier on Friday, former Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam also had alleged that party has been taken over by sycophants and those close to Rahul Gandhi are being sidelined deliberately.However, Congress has rejected this charge made by Nirupam and said everybody should restrain from speaking.
