Sanjay Jha claims 100 Congress party leaders wrote to Sonia Gandhi seeking leadership change
Sanjay Jha
Sacked Congress leader Sanjay Jha, on August 17, claimed that several party leaders approached party president Sonia Gandhi requesting leadership change and transparent polls within the organisation.
Jha tweeted: It is estimated that around 100 Congress leaders (including MPs), distressed at the state of affairs within the party, have written a letter to Mrs Sonia Gandhi, Congress President, asking for change in political leadership and transparent elections in CWC (sic), Jha tweeted on August 17.
Jha was suspended by Congress citing anti-party activities and breach of discipline in July, after he supported Sachin Pilot, who too was removed as Deputy CM of Rajasthan after his much publicized tiff with Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot. Jha had alleged that Congress had become ?fossilised, status quoist and reluctant to change.
Replying to Jhas tweet, Delhi Municipal Councillor and Congress leader Yasmin Kidwai questioned, Sanjay why put this out? Everyone in party knows why share it on a public platform??

Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala, however, denied Jhas claim as he wrote on Twitter: Special Misinformation Group on Media-TV Debate Guidance? in its whatsapp of today directed to run the story of a non existant letter of Congress leaders to divert attention from Facebook-BJP links. Of course, BJP stooges have started acting upon it.
