anand sharma leaves congress

Mumbai:  Former Union minister Anand Sharma has resigned from the post of the chairman of the steering committee of the Himachal Pradesh Congress. Anand Sharma said that his โ€œself-respect is non-negotiableโ€, as per the sources in a letter to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi.

Anand Sharma also took to his Twitter and wrote, โ€œI have resigned with a heavy heart from the Chairmanship of the Steering Committee of the Congress for the Himachal Elections. Reiterating that I am a lifelong congressman and remain firm on my convictions.โ€

โ€œCommitted to Congress ideology that runs in my blood, let there be no doubts about this! However, given the continuing exclusion and insults, as a self-respecting person- I was left with no choice,โ€ Sharma further added in his tweet.

Just five days had passed since senior Congressman Ghulam Nabi Azad made a comparable attempt before the development in Congress. A few hours after being appointed as the leader of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress campaign committee on August 16, Azad announced his resignation.
Sharma complained to Sonia Gandhi about being disregarded during the consultative process. He assured her, nevertheless, that he would keep advocating for the stateโ€™s party candidates.

On April 26, the former Union minister and deputy leader of the Congress in the Rajya Sabha was named head of the Himachal Pradesh Steering Committee.

Sharma, who first contested assembly elections in 1982 and was given a Rajya Sabha ticket by then prime minister Indira Gandhi in 1984, has been a Rajya Sabha member ever since and has occupied several key positions in the party.

Letโ€™s see Modi though the eyes of data and judge his performance against that of previous Prime Ministers. I choose the following five parameters for this analysis โ€“ GDP growth and our per capita income Population growth control Net migration Unemployment Inflation There are several other important key parameters that I know that I have left out, but cannot discuss all of them in a single episode. I analyze the data from 1960 to 2021 covering the tenure of all Prime Ministers. Watch the episode to see the results. I am sure you will be surprised.
