Haryana Congress Leader Sampat Singh Quits, Cites Sabotage by Senior Leaders

A former leader in the Congress party in Haryana named Sampat Singh has quit.

He said that some important leaders in his party were working against their own candidates in the last election.

He claims they helped people who weren't official party members run as independent candidates just to make sure the real Congress candidates would lose.

Sampat also believes that good people were not given chances to run for office, while those with money were.

He also mentioned that respected leaders, like a prominent Dalit woman leader, were treated badly and ignored.

Sampat feels that the party leadership is more interested in their own families and power than in winning elections or helping the state.

He believes the party is not listening to its members or understanding what people want, which led to their recent losses.

Because he lost faith in the leadership, he decided to leave the party.
