New Delhi: Amidst the Lok Sabha elections, Congress is facing setbacks after setbacks. Chhattisgarh Congress leader Radhika Khera resigned from the party. He alleged that party leader Sushil Anand Shukla and his two colleagues tried to misbehave with him. Not only this, when he complained about this to the top leaders of the party, even then no action was taken against him. Former Congress leader Radhika Kheda said that she informed everyone including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and Jairam Ramesh about this objectionable incident but no action was taken against the accused leaders. Therefore he announced to leave the party.
harassed due to Ram temple visit
Radhika Kheda alleged that she was harassed by the party leaders due to her visit to Ayodhya Ram temple. When I complained about this to senior Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh unit including Sachin Pilot, Jairam Ramesh, Bhupesh Baghel and Pawan Kheda, no help was provided to me. Only after which Radhika Kheda vowed to expose the male-dominated mentality within the party.
received instructions to remain silent
Former Congress leader Radhika Kheda claimed that every Congress leader she spoke to asked her to remain silent and reprimanded her for not keeping pace with the party. Referring to former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel, Khera alleged that after learning about the insults and verbal abuse by Sushil Anand, the former had asked him to leave Chhattisgarh. Radhika Kheda accused Sushil Anand Shukla that he misbehaved with her and also abused her. When I threatened to record on the phone, two people present in the room with him closed the room and started abusing me. I kept shouting but they did not listen to me. After that I pushed the door and went to the State General Secretary’s room and complained about him there but he did not get up from his chair even once.
Radhika Kheda, in her resignation letter to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, said that she had to face criticism from within the party because she could not stop herself from visiting the Ram temple and seeing the idol of Ram Lalla. Has dedicated years to this party and has worked with full honesty from NSUI to the media department of Congress. Even after that I faced opposition because I support Ram in Ayodhya.
Radhika Khera accused Congress leader Sushil Kumar that Sushil Kumar had offered me liquor during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. He called me again and again asking which liquor I wanted. He also used to knock on my room again and again. When I complained about this to the top leaders, they did not help me. However, I later realized that he was not given any help because his ideology did not match with the anti-Hindu and anti-Ram views of the Congress.
