NEW DELHI: Just two days after complaining of "shabby treatment by the " high command " and quitting the Congress party , former Haryana minister on Saturday took a U-turn, saying he is a "Congressman by birth" and will remain so "till his last breath". Yadav said he was "prevailed upon" by his son and former MLA Chiranjeev Rao to "forget the past" and work for the party again.
"I am congress man by birth and would remain congress man till my last breath. I am specially indebted to my leader and mentor Sonia Gandhi ji and can never think of hurting her feelings," he said.
In a flurry of posts on X, the former Haryana minister expressed commitment to the Congress party that he had served for 38 years. "I worked with my leader late Rajiv Gandhi ji and Sonia Gandhi and cannot forget their affection towards me as our family have long association of more than 70 years since 1952 my late father Rao Abhey Singh with Nehru-Gandhi family," he said.
On Thursday, the former Haryana minister and national president of OBC Morcha of Congress had resigned from the post as well as the primary membership of the party, citing "shabby" treatment after Sonia Gandhi left the post of Congress president . "This decision was hard. My family has had 70 years of association with Congress as my father late Rao Abhey Singh became MLA in 1952 and I continued with the family tradition. Now, I am now disillusioned with the party high command," he had said on Thursday announcing his resignation.
However, on Saturday, he expressed disappointment that his contributions to the Other Backward Classes department had not been acknowledged by the high command, and that some harsh remarks pushed him into taking the decision to resign.
"I was upset that my hard work done for the OBC department was not being appreciated by high command and some harsh words made me to take this drastic step but with a cool mind I have decided to strengthen the congress party, especially my mentor and leader Sonia Gandhi," he said in a following post on X.
