New Delhi:Veteran Congress leader turned BJP Rajya Sabha MP from Assam, Bhubaneswar Kalita on Monday said that the Congress will be totally destructed in the coming days and "It will be merely a social welfare organisation."
"The way Congress party is functioning, it's going towards destructions. I have also mentioned in my resignation letter the same. And the present developments reflect my points," said Kalita, in an exclusive interview to ETV Bharat, who resigned from Congress last year to join BJP.
He resigned from Congress over differences with party leadership adding that the present Congress is not like the old Congress party.
Referring to the letter signed by 23 senior Congress leaders written to party president Sonia Gandhi, Kalita said that the letter written by them raised some valid points.
"The leaders tried to highlight what is happening inside the party and what should be done within the party," said Kalita.
But instead of talking on the concern mentioned in the letter, the sincerity of the leaders came under the scanner. They were questioned, said Kalita.
"I know many of the Congress leaders with whom I have relation for the last 35-40 years. They served the party for their entire life. These leaders have earlier defended the party on many occasions, whether it's inside Parliament or outside Parliament," said Kalita.
He said that people who raised this kind of "serious issues" their sincerity came under question and even they are branded as BJP supporters.
"When Jyotiraditya Scindia was there, he was accused by the Congress leaders for hobnobbing with BJP. Sachin Pilot was also criticised in the same way," said Kalita and added, "no leader will accept such allegations if they were criticised of no-fault."
