Congress Member of the Rajasthan State Assembly and veteran Brahmin community leader Bhanwar Lal Sharma quit the party on Tuesday, scathingly accusing the Congress of willfully promoting youth at the expense of experience and seniority.
Seventy-five-year-old Sharma said the Congress Party and its vice president Rahul Gandhi's decision to allow younger and emerging leaders in state units to assume key leadership roles, was a slap in the face of the old guard, which he claimed was tried and tested, and had a record of delivering what was asked of it.
Sharma, who was the Congress legislator from Sardarshahar, has been lashing out at the Congress in a critical manner, saying that senior leaders, their views and suggestions are not being heard or respected.
He specifically abused senior Rajasthan Congress leaders such as C.P. Joshi, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee president Sachin Pilot, besides the High Command at the Centre.
Sharma is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after meeting Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia on Monday and Tuesday.
