Former Congress Member of Parliament Priya Dutt has been removed from the post of secretary of All India Congress Committee. Priya Dutt posted a picture on her facebook, in which she is seen with her two sons and husband, and the same picture also has two glasses on the right side of the frame.
Priya Dutt reportedly accepted her removal from the party high command. But, if the report is to be believed, some of the local Congress men has attributed Priya Dutt’s removal to her ‘irresponsible’ facebook cover page image.
Other report says, local leaders were not happy with Priya Dutt’s performance, and staying away from the Bharat Bandh made Congress leaders angry. It has not been confirmed from our side, but city Congress leaders said she was spotted shopping at a mall on the bandh day.
The ex-MP seems to be facing opposition from a large section of her party, especially aspirants to the Lok Sabha ticket from her constituency. Last weekend, some local Congress leaders told Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam not to recommend her as the party’s official candidate for the next general elections.
A letter issued by Ashok Gehlot, general secretary, AICC, reads “Rahul Gandhi has appreciated your hard work and contribution to the party as secretary of AICC. I am sure your services will be utilised by the party in the future also.”
