Congress high command debunks Vasan’s charges

New Delhi: Congress general secretary Mukul Wasnik, in-charge of party affairs in the state, on Monday debunked all the charges and claims made by Vasan while quitting the party and planning to start a new outfit.

The Congress general secretary rejected suggestions that Vasan’s parting of ways was reflective of the weakness of the central leadership of the party in the wake of the debacle in the Lok Sabha polls. Congress had scored a duck in TN during the Lok Sabha polls. “It is a reflection on the individual concerned.

When Congress was in power, he remained with the party and enjoyed power and when the party lost in the elections, he is leaving,” he said. “I am not aware of any single reason for the parting of ways. He has enjoyed all respect within party. He was minister in the UPA government and was an important leader of the party in TN,” Wasnik said.
