After having served the Congress party for 37 years, former Gujarat Congress spokesperson and senior leader Jayrajsinh Parmar on Thursday quit the party. It's likely that he might join the BJP, sources said.
"I am leaving the party with a very heavy heart and sadness. I've served in the Congress party for 37 years, but after seeing no change in the leadership in the state and that too after remaining out of power for 27 years, I decided that enough was enough," said Jayrajsinh Parmar.
Parmar's resignation comes three days after he was removed as the party's chief spokesperson. The party appointed Punja Vansh and Veerji Thummar as the new chief spokespersons for the Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) replacing Jayrajsinh Parmar and Manish Doshi as per a proposal by its in-charge, Raghu Sharma.
