Before Jaiveer Shergill, former Union Minister Anand Sharma also resigned as the chairman of the party's steering committee on Sunday.

It is being told that Jaiveer Shergill was upset with the Congress party for a long time. He was not allowed by the party to hold a press conference for some time.

Anand Sharma's resignation a big blow for Congress

He also wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi in this matter, in which it was said that he was being ignored in the party. Apart from this, he also said that he is not being included in the meetings and decisions before the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections. Anand Sharma's resignation is a big setback for the Congress, as he is considered among the tallest leaders of Himachal Pradesh. He has told the Congress President in his letter that his self-respect has been hurt as he was not invited to any meeting of the party.

A day after his resignation, the state's All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge Rajiv Shukla had approached him to resolve the matter ahead of the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections in November this year. Apart from Anand Sharma, a few days ago, Congress veteran Ghulam Nabi Azad also resigned from the campaign committee as well as the Jammu and Kashmir Political Affairs Committee. Both Sharma and Azad were among 23 leaders who wrote to Sonia Gandhi in August 2020 demanding elections for the party president and the Congress Working Committee (CWC).
