2024 Lok Sabha Elections: Another Congress Spokesman, Rohan Gupta, Joins BJP. His Final Words

Rohan Gupta expressed his views on leadership, emphasizing the importance of the ability to listen. He criticized a specific individual within the party responsible for communications and cited instances where the leader failed to maintain effective communication and demonstrate empathy.

This perceived lack of leadership led to Gupta’s decision to leave the party, despite the Congress’s absence of official comment on his departure. Gupta pointed out the need for leaders to consider feedback from the ground and highlighted the value of self-respect in such situations.

He defended his decision to join the BJP, attributing it to the party’s long-term vision and alignment with centrist policies and nationalism. He also expressed disappointment in the Congress’s shift towards leftist ideas, particularly its handling of the Ayodhya Ram temple inauguration.

Gupta criticized the Congress for deviating from its historical values and expressed his belief that the party should have participated in the temple inauguration. He also questioned the Congress’s leadership decisions and the impact of advisors on the party’s stance on certain issues.

In light of his past criticisms of the BJP on social media, Gupta stated that he was not ashamed of his previous actions and emphasized his dedication to the Congress over the years. However, he acknowledged a misalignment between his vision and the party’s current direction and expressed a desire to gracefully transition beyond his affiliation with the party.
