The resignation of Naseemuddin Siddiqui has thrown Congress into turmoil, prompting JD(U)’s Neeraj Kumar to deliver a blistering critique. Labeling it the inevitable consequence of Congress’s pacts with the corrupt, Kumar highlighted how such shortcuts are eroding the party’s core.
In his interaction with the press, Kumar dissected the resignations of Siddiqui and comments from Shakeel Ahmad as repercussions of deals done in democracy’s name. ‘The Congress boat is sinking because of these leaders’ misdeeds; only Gandhi loyalists remain unscathed,’ he observed, as defections mount.
Siddiqui cited ‘inevitable reasons’ in his letter to Kharge, abandoning membership and roles since party goals he joined for lay unmet—no personal beefs aired. This comes amid broader opposition fractures in Bihar.
Kumar lambasted RJD’s executive huddle in luxury hotels, contrasting it with their massive underutilized property and inbred leadership. ‘Why venture out when family fills every seat?’ he quipped, predicting obscurity for RJD post-Rohini Acharya snub, demanding answers from the meet.
Addressing Rahul Gandhi’s Election Commission swipe, Kumar called out Congress’s hypocrisy: fairness acknowledged in triumphs, foul play cried in setbacks. With elections looming, Siddiqui’s move signals deepening cracks, bolstering JD(U)’s narrative of opposition disarray.
