Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala on Friday said the resignation of Priyanka Chaturvedi, who was the party’s national spokesperson and convenor of its media cell, was a reflection on his leadership. Ms. Chaturvedi was miffed at the reinstatement of some party workers, who had misbehaved with her, and she resigned from the party and joined the Shiv Sena on Friday. Addressing a press conference here, Mr. Surjewala said, “Every time a party member leaves, it’s a matter of pain for us. We wish all of them well, including Priyanka Chaturvedi. I must frankly and on record concede, yes, it’s a reflection on my leadership.”After quitting all posts in the party, Ms. Chaturvedi had sent her resignation to Congress president Rahul Gandhi and other senior leaders.
