"Time To Call Spade A Spade": Ashwani Kumar To NDTV On Quitting Congress

Former Union Minister Ashwani Kumar, who has quit the Congress in the middle of state elections, said today that "the party doesn't seem to reflect mood of the nation". Ashwani Kumar, who was Law Minister in the Manmohan Singh-led Congress government between 2009 and 2014, said in his resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi that the decision was "consistent with my dignity". He also spoke about pursuing public causes inspired by the idea of "transformative leadership".
