Priya Dutt Sacked From AICC, Says It’s Nothing to Be Upset About
Dutt says the organisation needs young people and she has served long enough.
Former Lok Sabha MP and Congress member Priya Dutt was removed from the position of Secretary of All India Congress Committee on 26 September 2018.
The Congress loyalist tweeted a letter from AICC on Sunday, 30 September 2018, stating that she has been relieved from her duties as the secretary of the committee.
Many reactions questioning the move of AICC emerged on Twitter after Dutt’s post, majority of which were directed at Congress. After the continuous remarks, the former AICC secretary tweeted on Monday to clarify that the letter had “nothing to be upset about”.
After the party’s performance in 2017 Uttar Pradesh elections, Dutt had called out Congress’ age-old structure in a tweet which said Congress is “destroying itself”. She had said that the party suffers from an “autoimmune disease”.
