During Rahul Kharge's inaugural visit to Goa, 100 local Congress booth-level agents tendered their resignations, signalling internal dissent.
Rahul Kharge, the newly elected president of the Indian National Congress, began his campaign tour in Goa with a surprising development – 100 booth-level agents announced their resignation.
The resignations were filed at the start of Kharge's visit, indicating a wave of discontent among grassroots workers. Sources close to the party say the move reflects growing frustration over leadership decisions and campaign strategies.
Kharge has not yet commented publicly on the resignations, but party insiders suggest that the leadership is reviewing the situation to prevent further fallout. The Congress leadership has urged the resigning agents to reconsider, emphasizing the need for unity ahead of upcoming elections.
The incident could pose a challenge for the party’s campaign in Goa, where local organization is crucial. Analysts warn that if the resignations signal deeper fissures, the Congress may struggle to mobilise voters in the state’s upcoming elections.
